Recruitment awards deadline approaches

ENTRIES for the s1 Recruitment Awards 2015 close in nine days’ time. The annual awards recognise the most innovative and successful people in the Scottish recruitment industry and will take place on Thursday, April 2, at The Crowne Plaza, Glasgow.

The night will be hosted by comedian Craig Hill and the accolades will be presented across 20 categories, with 10 new awards introduced this year. Gavin Mochan, sales director of s1, will chair the judging session during which the experts will choose the best entries across 16 of the 20 categories, including Best In-house Recruitment Team sponsored by The Firm, Best Recruitment Campaign and Best Recruitment Video sponsored by Vistabee.

Mr Mochan said: “2015 is set to be the most exciting year for the s1 Recruitment Awards, with both the number of attendees and awards themselves set to double. A lot has changed in the recruitment market over the last five or so years, so it is only right that our awards reflect the current landscape.

“Customers also identified the need for a broader category set, and it was one of the clear bits of feedback from last year’s event. In-house recruitment, for example, has grown in strategic importance to Scottish businesses, therefore we have added it to this year’s debate.

“Among the other new categories are Best Recruitment Innovation, Best Use of Social Media, Best Onboarding Strategy and HR team of the Year.”

Entries are open until March 4 and can be made online at www.s1jobs.com/ awards. For more information contact Billy Girvan on 0141 302 7738 or billy. girvan@s1jobs.com
