RecruitRank Award 2007 Finalists Announced

Jobsite are pleased to announce the finalists for the RecruitRank Awards 2007. Recognising best practice and quality customer service in recruitment agencies, the RecruitRank Awards are the only awards in the industry where finalists and winners are chosen by the feedback from job candidates and not a panel of industry judges.

Launched by leading online recruiter Jobsite (www.jobsite.co.uk) in November 2005, RecruitRank allows candidates to feedback anonymously on the quality of an agencyís service after they have applied for a vacancy advertised by them on Jobsite. Recruiters have personal, private access to this free market research and it enables them to monitor and, if necessary, improve their service offering. The finalists within each category of the Awards were selected through a culmination of this feedback from over 40,000 candidates over the last 12 months.

This yearís RecruitRank Awards sees the addition of two new categories; Most Improved Large Recruiter and Most Improved Small Recruiter. These new awards recognise those agencies who have worked hard over the last 12 months to improve the service levels that they offer to candidates.

Many of the finalists appear in more than one category, which proves that it is possible for recruitment agencies to provide an all-round excellent service to candidates. The finalists are listed in alphabetical order in each category:

The Awards, which are in their second year, will be held on 8th November at Kent House, Knightsbridge. The Awards host is Simon Woodroffe, founder of YO! Sushi and one of the most memorable Dragons from the BBC series Dragonís Den. As a successful entrepreneur Simon is well placed to speak on changing consumer attitudes and how businesses need to respond to this. His insights match nicely with the objectives of RecruitRank and his speech will be of high value and relevance to the recruitment consultants present.

Commenting on the awards, Keith Potts, CEO of Jobsite says:

ìResearch weíve done this year shows that candidates are increasingly keen to give feedback but they also expect this feedback to be listened to and will go elsewhere if they have a bad experience. The finalists of the RecruitRank Awards are those agencies that candidates say have given them a great candidate experience and have helped to make job hunting a little easier and more enjoyable ñ both underlying objectives of Jobsite and RecruitRank. The finalist agencies should be very proud and we wish them all the best of luck on the evening.î
