The entries were assembled, the shortlist was drawn-up and finally the day came. The Global Recruiter Industry Awards 2024, headline sponsored by Simplicity, came to London, delivering one of the stand-out events for the industry this year.
With associate sponsors Magic Umbrella, Recruiter Moves and The Recruitment Network, this was an occasion to remember, whether or not you were a finalist. With The Global Recruiter’s usual style and energy, the afternoon offered a chance for the industry to let its hair down, to kick back, relax and party in the light of the achievements delivered by the leading lights of the industry.
“The Global Recruiter Awards have been designed to identify businesses and individuals who are outstanding in their attitude and accomplishments,” said Gary King, Publisher of The Global Recruiter and host of the event. “Our approach means recruitment businesses are judged by people who understand what it takes to deliver quality in this industry, people from the industry who have the experience and knowledge to recognise when a recruitment business goes the extra mile for their clients.
“The winners and highly commendeds from today can be rightfully proud of their achievements.”
Simon Kent, Editor of The Global Recruiter added: “This year has seen a number of challenges for the industry and it’s great to see recruiters pushing to do more. There’s a sense of vitality about the recruitment industry – an amount of energy, enthusiasm and commitment that has been reflected in some fantastic entries to the awards this year. This years winners are truly inspirational even beyond the recruitment industry itself.”
With live music and a great venue in the Steel Yard in London, this year’s Global Recruiter Industry Awards will be one to be remembered for some time to come.
