Talent Acquisition Professional of the Year Award

  • Talent partners and talent acquisition professionals

Judging criteria

  • Hiring outcomes

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.
