The judges were looking for leading businesses that deliver a great candidate experience as well as an innovative approach to recruitment. Mr Mochan said the quality of entries was outstanding and the panel was overwhelmed with the number of applications displaying innovative recruitment campaigns, and dedication to developing their staff. Mr Mochan said that 2020 was “not a year for business as usual”, adding: “The pandemic forced us to rethink everything that we do, and execution on all of this involuntary adjustment could be hit and miss.
“It is not the strongest or most intelligent businesses who survived or even thrived through the lockdowns – it was the businesses who could innovate, adapt and hold true to that now tested promise of putting their people first.
“I was astonished to review how high businesses were able to push the bar in such a short period of time while keeping their people front and centre.”
