Winning the Gold Award was the HSJ [Health Service Journal] Awards 2021, with the Silver honours awarded to the Pride in the Job Awards, part of the National House Building Council.

On hand at Old Billingsgate, London, to celebrate the recognition were Recruiter editor DeeDee Doke (second left), event manager Sophie Lancaster (second right) and event marketing manager Hannah Marshall (left). Others on the Recruiter Awards events team who were not present Friday were production editor Vanessa Townsend and director Jason Grant.

Commenting on the award, the judges said: “The Recruiter Awards are clearly an important event in the recruitment industry – and the figures for this year were extremely impressive. It is a strong event and delivered well – well done!”

Doke said: “We are thrilled that our Recruiter Awards were so honoured, alongside other highly authoritative and respected titles and organisations in the UK market. This reflects the growing credibility of the recruitment sector, as well as the unusual, blended involvement of commercial and editorial participation in making these awards such a success as a team.

“We are now challenged to keep upping the ante for outstanding achievements in both our Recruiter Awards and Recruiter’s Investing in Talent Awards.”

Also acknowledged in the Best Longstanding Awards shortlist were the Plastic Industry Awards, kbbreview Retail & Design Awards, the Pay 360 Awards and the IWFM [Institute of Workplace Facilities Management] Impact Awards.

Recruiter and the Recruiter Awards are part of the Redactive Media Group.
