Fresh from being named one of the UK’s savviest, innovative and most disruptive businesses by O2 and Smarta, online recruitment newcomer Hiring-Hub.com has been shortlisted for another three gongs in October, including 2011 Website of the Year and a Shell LiveWIRE Grand Ideas award.
The recognition comes as Hiring-Hub.com’s founders Simon Swan and Sara Jones were both named in Insider Media’s 42 under 42 Class of 2011; a respected collection of the north west’s most exciting entrepreneurs under the age of 42. “At Insider we are always on the look out for businesses doing things a bit differently,” said Rupert Cornford, features editor, North West Business Insider.
“When I met Hiring-Hub.com’s founders they showed me the software platform they had built and explained their proposition, and I thought it was a great idea,” continued Rupert. “The team has picked up some big-name clients in the short time they have been trading and the business model appears to be disruptive in the sector.”
27-year-old Sara Jones, has also been shortlisted for a Shell LiveWIRE Grand Ideas Award this month. Previous winners include Richard Reed, founder of Innocent Drinks and and Jamie Murray Wells, founder of Glasses Direct.
The Good Web Guide, meanwhile, has shortlisted Hiring-Hub.com for its prestigious 2011 Website of the Year Award, which will be judged by King of Shaves founder Will King and Editor of The Times Digital, Craig Tregurtha. Hiring-Hub.com is up against stiff competition for the accolade, including the likes of Moonfruit and ParcelMonkey.
