Last Thursday we were named 'Best Executive Search Firm' at the Recruitment Business Awards.
The award recognises the recruitment company that has most excelled in executive recruitment over the last 12 months. Judging is based on evidence such as client case studies and testimonials. This is an accolade we have won for a record 4 consecutive years.
This follows on from success a week earlier at The Recruiter Investing in Talent Awards were we won 2 awards;
Most Effective Professional Development for Managers/Executives. The judges were looking for a company that provides the most effective development for mangers quantified by measurable success. They were impressed by the benefits our program has bought to organisational success and growth and how it supports our strategy of building managers from within. Our strategy and ability ‘to build talent not buy it’ is contrary to the majority of our competitors who scour the market and bring in leaders trained at competitors. The results speak for themselves, loyal, highly skilled leaders in leading positions enabling the business to grow from nothing to 30m GBP in revenues in 8 years. With 35 of the 36 leaders in the business ‘home-grown’ from Consultant, the professional development of our leaders we believe speaks for itself.
The second was Best Large Recruitment Company to Work for. The judges were looking for a evidence of providing the most effective work environment, incentives, benefits, training, internal communications and ‘best practice’-orientated management. Also evidence of financial stability, innovation and profitability, demonstration of workforce diversity and availability of career development opportunity for all. On awarding the trophy the judges stated that "Amoria Bond ticked every box in this category. The performance of the company was impressive, a clear route to success signposted with a great progression plan"
