What are the Awards?

There are 16 awards, spread over different sectors of employment, to honour the best graduate recruiters, campaigns and websites.

Panel awards

We have added two new awards this year, one that recognises the growing importance of excellent diversity recruitment practices and the second to showcase the innovative practices happening on campus. And, in recognition of the expertise of recruitment consultants in entering their clients for awards, there will be once again separate trophies for agencies on the night.
