Origin HR was one of just two companies to secure finalist status in this prestigious UK Recruiter Award category for outsourced recruitment services.
Origin HR was awarded the title of "Best Managed Service Provider" for the second consecutive year, an unprecedented achievement within this UK Recruiter Award Category.
The panel of judges tasked with choosing the winner were experts within the recruitment and HR world and were drawn from a range of diverse organisations including Cranfield University, Singer & Friedlander, KPMG, the Department of Trade and Industry and Google. The panel remarked, "For one of its major clients, Origin HR's achievements include:
- Decreasing the average cost per hire by 33%
- Increasing direct hires from 0% to 53% of all hires within the space of just one year
- Reducing time to hire to an average of 28 days
- Increasing internal mobility to 20%, year to date
- The alignment of suppliers against each of the client’s business areas to ensure only specialist recruitment consultancies are working with the specialist areas.”
Origin HR was one of just five other national and global organisations to be shortlisted in the highly competitive category of "Best Outsourcing Service Provider of the Year" at the National Outsourcing Awards 2007.
In 2006 Origin HR was named "Best Managed Service Provider" by a panel of senior HR and recruitment professionals drawn from organisations across the UK, including KPMG and Deloitte.
The judges at the Recruiter Magazine Awards highlighted Origin HR's impressive growth in the recruitment outsourcing market over the last few years and pinpointed our ability to do the seemingly impossible – increase direct hires and reduce agency hires by as much as 20% in 6 months, whilst simultaneously increasing agency satisfaction.
The panel were impressed with Origin HR’s approach to recruitment outsourcing, stating:
"Origin HR made it a priority to fully understand hiring areas within the client company and requirements for each vacancy in order to communicate those issues to agencies. Origin HR also instituted a review process for recruitment suppliers, and ensured that suppliers had greater access, more quickly than before, to information they needed."
Commenting on the win on the night, Keith Robinson, Managing Director of Origin HR said:
"As the recruitment outsourcing market has grown, so has our reputation as one of the leading providers of outsourced recruitment solutions for small, medium and large financial institutions across the UK. This award is a fantastic reflection of Origin HR's ability to challenge the traditional processes within the recruitment outsourcing industry and deliver a best value solution - from graduate recruitment programmes to HR services outsourcing and master vendor recruitment.
