The Association for Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) announced the winners of its coveted Awards for Excellence at an invitation-only lunch today. The annual awards - sponsored by 6CATS International, Qdos, Sonovate, Workwell, Access Group and Brookson – celebrate those in the recruitment and outsourcing sectors who deliver best-in-class solutions and outstanding services.

Held at the stunning RIBA venue in West London, the ceremony kicked off with an inspirational presentation from Alexia Cambon, Senior Director, Future of Work Research at Microsoft. Alexia shared her insight into the future of work and how we need to reimagine and rethink the way we operate.

Ann Swain, Global CEO of APSCo commented:

I’d like to offer a huge congratulations not only to the winners, but also to every one of our members and Trusted Partners who continue to demonstrate their commitment to delivering the best service and driving excellence in the sector. As we continue to face uncertainty amidst vast skills shortages, the value our members bring to the table for employers will only continue to grow. I’m looking forward to seeing how our winners and finalists continue to excel in the coming year.

Our entry showcased our belief that while recruitment will always sit at our core, a business of our size must go beyond core talent services. Over the course of many years, we’ve developed a suite of products and services to complement the entire talent journey, whether that’s technology that tracks a candidate throughout their life cycles; management information dashboards; accredited training schemes or HR consultancy that ensures our clients remain in line with changing legislation.

Our nomination for the APSCo Awards for Excellence, showcases how we bring all these elements together into one armoury of support, which we wrap around our customers - RPO1. It’s a transformation of the traditional RPO model, making talent ambitions a reality.

RPO1 is a complete resourcing solution that is bespoke to clients’ present and future needs. In contrast to traditional RPOs which are often fixed and inflexible, our nimble approach scales up and down when necessary, offering a more agile, custom-fit solution to organisations of all sizes. We offer clients working in difficult job markets, with limited candidate confidence, access to trusted candidate networks. Our expertise and specialisms mean we’ve helped them to hire at volume but also to budget. 
Having worked across so many industries, we are able to take learnings from sector to sector, and in this way are continuously 
improving our service for our clients benefit. 

We revel in creating new solutions to our partners’ challenges and sharing these throughout the industries we operate in. Having built our reputation within engineering, rail and other specialist sectors, we are now a market leader in a diverse portfolio of industries including IT, digital, professional services, construction and more. Our approach means that we are consistently improving and able to take learnings from sector to sector, benefitting our clients’ businesses and our own. This  quality of service is recognised by our net promoter score of 79%

Melanie Forbes, Managing Director of APSCo OutSource, added:

Congratulations once again to all our finalists and amazing winners of the OutSource Awards for Excellence. As we continue to face a skills crisis, the value the outsourcing sector brings has never been more important. The dedication and continuous improvement of the services the outsourcing organisations provide is clearly evidenced by our winners!

We’re not just about placing talented people in the right roles with exciting organisations, we’re collaborating with businesses and education providers to invest in talent and pave the way to a diverse range of career opportunities for future generations.
