In turbulent times, we need a strong core to keep our business agile and able to withstand body blows from extraneous circumstances, as well as a firm hand on the wheel to maintain our direction. That’s part of the philosophy behind Recruiter’s HOT 100; without a profitability mindset at the core and firm, thoughtful control over spending, a business can simply blow about with ‘all thrust, no vector’, in air force parlance. The 100 recruitment businesses on our HOT 100 list this year have demonstrated grace and control under the wild winds of our mad world and are individual benchmarks of what a superb industry ours is. Well done to the HOT 100 companies!

And we are thrilled with the commitment of our analysts, Simon Marsden and the team at Gambit Corporate Finance, to furthering the quality and authority of our rankings. Thanks to Gambit once more in the second year of our partnership.

Other business achievements by our recruitment constituency sparkled and gleamed at Recruiter’s Investing in Talent Awards event in January. We can be so proud of the industry-wide initiatives to recruit and embrace underrepresented groups among our ranks, not only for our clients.

Spring is in the air!
