The 2012 Jobsite RecruitRank Awards Dinner took place on Tuesday night (4th December), to reward the UK’s top 10 recruitment agencies, based on candidate feedback. Recognising best practice and customer service in recruitment agencies, the Jobsite RecruitRank Awards are the only industry awards based purely on feedback from jobseekers and not the traditional peer judging panel.
Launched in November 2005 by Jobsite.co.uk, with the aim of reducing candidate jobhunting frustrations and raising industry standards; RecruitRank is an online tool that tiers recruitment agencies on a daily basis based purely on the experiences of jobseekers. It enables candidates to feed back anonymously on the quality of an agency’s service after they have applied for a vacancy advertised by them on Jobsite. In turn, recruiters have private access to this feedback, which allows them to monitor and, if necessary, improve their service offering.
The RecruitRank Awards recognise those agencies with outstanding customer service, who achieved the highest levels of positive feedback over a 12 month period. Jobseekers’ feedback determined the winners of the Top 10 Recruitment Agencies of 2012, with special mention to Highly Commended Recruitment Agency Blue Octopus Recruitment Ltd and congratulations to the Winner of No.1 Recruitment Agency, which was awarded to Big Red Recruitment Midlands.
The RecruitRank Top 10 Recruitment Agencies of 2012 (alphabetically) are:
- Arlington Moore Search & Selection
- Big Red Recruitment Midlands
- Blue Octopus Recruitment Limited
- Bond Williams Professional Recruitment
- Capita Education Resourcing
- CG Consultants
- Client Server – IT Recruitment
- Euro-Projects Recruitment Ltd
- Kensington Consulting Ltd
- Morson International (Aerospace)
Commenting on the award winners, Mike Wall, Jobsite MD, says: “We launched Jobsite’s innovative RecruitRank system as we recognise the difficulties recruitment agencies face in satisfying clients as well as candidates. It's often a thankless task, but the awards dinner rewards hard working recruitment agencies that have performed relentlessly throughout the year and who place a real importance on looking after the candidate as well as their clients.
Wall continues, “Jobsite’s RecruitRank is based entirely on candidate feedback, providing the industry’s most comprehensive insight into candidate needs and demands. Listening to this voice is critical for the future success of the industry as a whole. With several thousand recruitment consultancies eligible for inclusion in the RecruitRank Awards, these top 10 recruitment agencies stand out as examples of best practice in the area of customer service.”
The awards, which are in their seventh year, were held on 4th December 2012 at the exclusive Jameson Room at Bentley’s in London.
