RECRUITERS picked up a win at the All-Star Business Awards for “Best Managed Services Recruitment Professionals of the Year”, for 2018/2019.
Leading lights in Irish business descended on Croke Park last Thursday 19th April for the fourth annual All-Ireland Business Summit powered by Audi, where a 1,000-strong audience from all 32 counties were captivated by the speakers who revealed their top secrets, confessions and the dos and don’ts that have helped them achieve their business success.
The Business All-Stars competition final was one of the key elements of the summit. The Business All-Stars is an annual competition designed to identify, recognise and accredit Irish companies and individuals that have distinguished themselves in the conduct of their business over the last 12 months.

RECRUITERS was accredited with “All-Star Managed Services Recruitment Professionals of the Year”. Speaking at the event, Kieran F Ring, CEO Global Institute of Logistics and deputy chair of the adjudication panel said, “The decision to designate RECRUITERS with “Managed Services Recruitment Professionals of the Year” 2018/2019 is based on the score achieved in four rounds of intense competition. The application, supported by references, interviews and independent ratings from the ‘mystery shopper’ process left the adjudication panel in no doubt that RECRUITERS is richly deserving of this accreditation. We would like to extend our sincere congratulations to all concerned and we wish you every success in the future.”
In response to the announcement Gerard Doyle, RECRUITERS MD said, “On behalf of RECRUITERS, I would like to express our sincere thanks for being accredited as “Managed Services Recruitment Professionals of the Year”. Achieving All-Star accreditation is a great source of pride for us and we look forward to continuing to meet and indeed exceed the standards set by the All-Star programme,” he said.
“The process which led to this accreditation truly stretched us, the structure of the competition required us to put our brand story on paper and gave us the opportunity to reflect on who we are, our growth strategy and above all the value we create for our target audience. The opportunity to hear first-hand feedback from our judge/mentor, our existing customers, partners and suppliers through the reference module combined with the results from the mystery shopper round was invaluable. We would like to thank all at the competition for making the effort to listen to our story, understand and accredit our business and above all help us to promote it.”
The competition finals benefited enormously from the atmosphere created at the All-Ireland Summit, which was driven by the three key pillars of knowledge sharing, facilitating new business relationships and the continued improvement of business standards in Ireland. The All-Ireland Summit improves year-on-year, like so many of the great teams to have graced the hallowed turf of Croke Park.
Speaking at the summit, Dr Briga Hynes, Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick and member of the adjudication panel summed up the entire process by reminding the enterprises honoured with All-Star that “RECRUITERS has demonstrated an ability to innovate and has impressive growth plans, which no doubt reflects the resilience and optimism that are the hallmarks of Irish entrepreneurs. RECRUITERS bring a real inspiration for what is possible in business in Ireland and provide important role models for the many aspiring entrepreneurs and existing small firms,” she said.
RECRUITERS are now included in the 2018/2019 All-Stars Role of Honour, the list is published annually to coincide with the All-Ireland Business Summit at Croke Park.
