Recruitment & HR Awards

Recruitment Agency of the Year Award

The agency clients, candidates and consultants all rate highest.

About this category

This award recognises a recruitment agency that has delivered outstanding results for clients and candidates, grown sustainably and looked after its people. Judges look for placement quality, client and candidate satisfaction, growth and culture.

Open to UK recruitment agencies of any size.

Metrics

Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, client, candidate or colleague evidence. Client and candidate names must not be disclosed without consent: describe placements in anonymised terms, and give commercially sensitive figures as percentages or ranges. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size of the business or team, so smaller agencies compete on equal terms.
