14-May-2008

“If we didn’t have candidates, what would we have? We would have no business. We truly mean what we say and we look after them each and every day.”
Julia Robertson, Science Recruitment Group (SRG)

“We really care about our clients internally and externally; a lot of support goes into looking after them.”
Rebecca Robb, Westaff (UK)

“It’s a fantastic achievement for everybody in the business, particularly as we were only established six years ago. The reason we won was because of the way we treat candidates and clients. It’s all about honesty.”
Darren James, Definitive Consulting

“It’s a great achievement, and reward for 15 years of building the business.
I put it down to focusing on our sector, and having the ambition to grow the business.”
Tim Sheffield, Sheffield Haworth

“I couldn’t be more delighted. It’s testament to our staff, and the fact that we are doing some fantastic things internationally.”
Craig Coverman, Eutopia

“This award is what everybody works for. It’s the people in the company who have earned this award. This is all about them.”
Scott Henry, LA Computer Consultants International

“I think we’ve got a unique offering and best practice goes right through the organisation.”
David Leyshon, CBSbutler

“Winning the award is down to dedication to customer service and to candidate care, and to delivering what we promise. With the same dedication and effort I don’t see why we shouldn’t win
it again.”
Dave Rooney, managing director, WH Marks Sattin

“The award is due to a significant investment in innovation, not only in our systems, but particularly in our people and the number of sales people we have hired. There’s also been a real focus on delivering real value to clients, candidates and internal staff.”
Aidan Anglin, managing director, Spring Group

“I am very, very pleased. It’s our third year in the awards, and we have finally achieved recognition.”
Jamie Davies, divisional director, LA International Computer Consultants

“It’s all about candidate care. We are 100% committed to the candidate; there’s a skill shortage and our focus is around that. We take care of our clients very well  and we’re honest and transparent in everything we do.”
Emma Watts, manager, Contract Scotland

“This industry does not suit everybody but for those that it does it’s the best industry in the world, and I love it.”
Bob Wicks, chairman of the Verb Group

“We really believe in client and candidate relationships and the quality of the partnership, and taking it one step further. It is really important to us that we do a really great job.”
Kate McCarthy, McCarthy Recruitment

“We like to think we care about our people. We give a good reward package that supports staff and hopefully they want to carry on working for us, because without them we don’t have anything.”
Mark Hunt, Hunters Solutions

“We do a lot of research about what people want and we put it back into
the site.”
Nigel Bicknell, Guardian Jobs

“We do quite a lot of work with our communities — we have  a Community Mark. We like to organise events and try and get staff more actively involved in running things like clubs.”
Colin Woodward, Contract Scotland

“I am absolutely delighted. It’s a great achievement for what you might call the ‘new Spring’.”
Aidan Anglin, Spring Group
