About the awards

2010 IRP Awards are the only recruitment accolade provided by the REC with an entry process and judging system devised by the REC and the editorial team of Recruitment Matters. They are an opportunity for recruiters and recruitment businesses to participate and be judged fairly through the use of both detailed judging metrics and an experienced and diverse judging panel.

These awards aim to find and celebrate the achievements of recruiters and recruitment businesses across the country. They support the IRP’s aim of giving recruiters a professional identity that reinforces their credibility among peers and demonstrates professionalism to clients and candidates alike.

For the first time, the IRP Awards are also an opportunity to showcase the best recruitment professionals and recruitment companies for whom IRP members work and who demonstrate that they are committed to professionalising the industry, supporting standards and investing in the personal and professional development of their people.

Why?

Building on the success of last year’s sell-out event, we have refreshed and expanded the awards' categories, adding some new ones and taking on board entrant feedback to refine the existing criteria. The variety of categories now on offer make these awards relevant to all types of organisations, irrespective of size or type of operation.

By entering the Awards you will demonstrate your commitment to delivering the highest standards of service to clients and candidates alike. By making it to the shortlist, you will be recognised among the best recruiters and recruitment organisations in the country. Winning one of the categories is an outstanding achievement: winning the IRP Recruiter of the Year Award is the ultimate accolade for a recruiter and their employer.
