Press
Release Body: Hays, the UK’s leading specialist
recruitment consultancy, which has a number of offices throughout
the country, has been proclaimed as the Best Performing
plc in a national awards ceremony. The recruitment consultancy
managed to beat strong competition to win the highly acclaimed
category at the Recruitment International Awards 2008.
To
win the highly coveted award of Best Performing plc, Hays
successfully demonstrated that it was continuing to perform extremely
well and manage to outperform its competitors, despite the current
economic climate. The awards were judged by 14 of the top industry
professionals and sector specialists, including analysts and brokers.
The ceremony took place at Madame Tussauds and was attended by
over 200 special guests, comprising of senior directors from the
UK’s top recruitment companies.
Tim
Cook, Managing Director of Hays said: "We are
delighted to have won this award. We are always looking for new
ways to better meet the needs of local employers and employees
and pride ourselves on strong customer service levels, an extensive
database and innovative recruitment methods, which allow us to
achieve this. An award for best performance is a strong accolade,
particularly in the current climate."
The
Recruitment International’s Awards are particularly
highly regarded within the recruitment industry because they are
won entirely on a company's merit following selection by a panel
of judges and a day of intensive debate where each judge selects
their own top three for each award category, before the points
are calculated and a winner emerges.
