Recruitment & HR Awards
New Recruitment Business of the Year Award
A new recruitment business off to a flying start.
About this category
This award recognises a recruitment business founded within the last three years that has built a strong client base, a clear proposition and solid foundations. Judges look for early results, feedback and a sustainable plan.
Eligibility
Open to recruitment businesses established within the three years before the entry deadline.

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.
