New Possible is on a mission to help every leader unlock the competitive advantage of their people. We do this by turning employee feedback into the kind of meaningful insight that can build a more engaged workforce. 

We also want to highlight the successes of organisations that are truly passionate about recruitment’s role in building a thriving organisation. In this article we introduce the British Recruitment Awards, which is our quest to find Britain’s recruitment all-stars.

Organisations are as diverse as their people and that’s why we want to discover and celebrate firms from across the UK. Whether you’re a young start-up, a not for profit or a global giant – we’d love to hear how your initiatives, however big or small, are helping to create a better working world.

Nate Harwood, Founder of New Possible said: “Hiring the right people is key to building a thriving organisation and that's why we're keen to recognise the inspirational individuals, in-house teams and agencies that are working hard to make this happen day-in, day-out. We’re excited to kick-off our search for these recruitment all-stars.”
