Best Large Recruiter

For companies with 20 or more consultants. You will need to prove provision of a consistent quality service to clients of all sizes and strong branding including a user-friendly website. The winner will also have a track record of going the extra mile for the community outside of recruitment or for the advancement of its staff.

Best Small Recruiter

For recruiters with 19 or fewer consultants. The UK leads the world with its highly professional smaller recruiters so the winner of this category will need to provide evidence of a superb service to clients, substantial support for its staff and an acute awareness of its local community.

Best In-house Training and Development

Whether your business provides outsourced training for consultants or you have developed your own internal programmes then you can enter this category. This is open to staffing businesses of all sizes and the winner will be selected for the quality of staff development rather than just the revenue spent.

Best Marketing Campaign

This category will recognise the recruiter or support service which has used the most eye-catching and successful single marketing campaign. This will have been through any media channel and for either the public or the trade.

Best Job Board

With so many job boards available this award will go to the most user-friendly and well-designed website for the jobseeker. It may be attached to your agency or be a stand-alone site, but added functionality and daring to stand out from the crowd is a must.

Best Recruitment Innovation

From software to training and support helplines to on-line technology, this award will consider entries from across the entire range of the industry. The judging panel will be looking for an innovation and advancement which simplifies the recruitment process for either the business owner and staff or the jobseeker.
