Hey there! Kristian from Purlos checking in . I hopped on the Purlos train as an Account Manager in November 2022, and let me tell you – it's been a wild ride! This company's got my back like no other. They keep their promises, from the epic quarterly socials to the equal opportunities and endless room for career growth. I've discovered a tribe of amazing, passionate people, including senior leaders who genuinely invest in us as individuals, propelling the entire company forward. We all bring our strengths to the table, united by a common vision.
Dream Big: Unleashing the Power of Education for All
Imagine a world where every learner can access the education they need without barriers, reaching their full potential. That's our dream, and it's what drives us. Our mission is to empower institutions and learners with innovative solutions that promote 100% inclusion, breaking down walls and building bridges to success.
Join the Movement: Transforming Lives, One Learner at a Time
Ready to make a difference? Jump on board and be a part of our mission to transform lives through the power of education. At Purlos, we're not just a team; we're a family. And we're on a journey to change the world, one learner at a time.
Evidence of how amazing we are!
One shining example of our vision in action comes from Ben Davis of Hugh Baird College, who said:
"I would rate the onboarding 10/10. When I needed support someone was in contact with me straight away. At our first enrolment event we enrolled 83% more people for the same event pre-pandemic. It’s about getting hold of the people we can’t normally get hold of."
We were able to empower Hugh Baird College by giving them direct access to learners via WhatsApp when their alternative methods failed to engage a large number of students. They experienced the true value of our company through our speedy responses and direct support, as well as helping them reach their goal through one campaign alone, increasing their enrolment by over 80%.
It does not stop there! My fellow colleagues, past and present, are always raving about the Purlos experience. For example my colleague Julia stated:
"Being part of Purlos has been a fantastic start to my sales career. I received ample learning opportunities, personalized coaching, and support from an inspiring team. My ideas were always welcomed and implemented, making me feel valued.
Purlos also offers a flexible environment and prioritizes career development. I was promoted after just eight months here!"
Julia’s journey showcases our commitment to nurturing a thriving work environment. We are proud to have her and many others in the Purlos family, contributing to the success of our clients and the company.
