Who found the winning ways at this year's Recruiter Awards?

Last night, those shortlisted for the Recruiter Awards 2022 found out who had won in the 32 categories up for grabs.

More than 1,100 people came along to be entertained by the comedian Angela Barnes, to have fun with colleagues and make new contacts at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House hotel on London’s Park Lane.

Winning the Recruitment Impact Award was Sue Dodd of Agile Intelligence, who founded Recruiter's HOT 100 methodology and worked with Recruiter for the past 16 years to establish it as the recruitment industry benchmark for the list of highest performing companies. She was unable to attend the event but sent a video message of thanks for the Award to the Great Room at the Grosvenor House.
