Best Companies accreditation 2010

Best Companies established the accreditation award scheme to acknowledge excellence in the workplace. Based on staff feedback, it looks at employee engagement as an integral part of a company's success and growth, and sets a benchmark for other employers. The accreditation scheme follows a Michelin star style system with companies awarded one star for first class, two stars for outstanding and three stars for extraordinary performance. Origin HR were very pleased to be awarded the highest level of accreditation, three stars, on their first attempt in 2010.

Best Managed Service Provider 2006

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."
