RECRUITMENT businesses across Scotland are being urged to get their entries in for the 2017 s1jobs Recruitment Awards ahead of this Friday’s deadline.
Now in its sixth year, the awards, organised by s1jobs in association with Search and supported by Recruit Ventures, Plus, Allied Vehicles and Bullhorn, reward businesses of all sizes who are making their mark on the Scottish recruitment scene.
Simone Lockhart, managing director for Scotland of Search Consultancy: “We’re expecting big things from Scottish businesses in the best employer brand category – we know that there are hundreds of companies out there who heavily invest in the recruitment of new employees as well as the retention and wellbeing of the existing workforce.
“Any organisation, big or small, can enter and we’re hoping to see lots of quality entries coming through ahead of the deadline. This is a great chance for companies in Scotland across all industry sectors to prove their credentials as the country’s best known employer and pick up a prestigious award nomination at the same time.”
You have until Friday March 10 to ensure that your business is in the running to receive an award at the 2017 s1jobs Recruitment Awards that will take place on Thursday April 13, 2017 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Glasgow.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
