“We want to enable a working life where our employees can be the best they can be and participate in awards to evaluate our initiatives and programmes. After a pretty turbulent few years we felt it was the right time to benchmarking ourselves against peers and competitors.
“Receiving an award showcases the winner as a leading figure within their industry, differentiating them from competitors and providing a prestigious endorsement of high standards and best practice. This is reassuring for customers and gives our team a real boost, contributing to a strong sense of pride in their place of work.
“As a people business, it validates the culture we strive to cultivate; the opportunities we provide through training and leadership development; our reward practices and how we monitor employee satisfaction.
“Being shortlisted is particularly pleasing because our headcount has grown by 30% in the last year and our submission incorporated the experiences of new employees working through our bespoke training programme, and more senior recruiters who have autonomy to shape their own specialist areas and set the direction for growth.
“The positive message the REC awards send out about excellence in the recruitment industry is a great thing to celebrate.”
