LONDON – December 4, 2024 – PeopleScout was named the Talent Acquisition Supplier of the Year at the 2024 Personnel Today Awards for their work in partnership with their client Heathrow Airport.

The Talent Acquisition Supplier of the Year award recognizes the work that providers do on behalf of their clients—evaluation criteria include examples of innovation, details that set the supplier apart from others and evidence of the supplier’s impact to attract the right talent.

PeopleScout Recognized With Two 2024 Recruitment Marketing Awards

Posted on by lloftus

UK-Based Awards Program Gives Distinction for Creativity and Impact of Healthcare Employee Engagement Campaign 

 
LONDON – November 15, 2024 – PeopleScout was the recipient of two Recruitment Marketing Awards for their work with University Hospitals of Derby & Burton in the United Kingdom. The awards recognize the company’s success in the Copywriting and Colleague Communications categories. PeopleScout was also shortlisted in the Art Direction category for their work with Kent County Council, and in the Recruitment Website category for their work with Circle Health Group. 

Since its launch in 1980, the Recruitment Marketing Awards have celebrated excellence and professionalism in recruitment marketing and talent management. Winners were named in 26 categories, which recognize how creativity, combined with the right medium, results in successful recruitment campaigns. 

“This recognition from the Recruitment Marketing Awards is a true testament to our team’s creativity and would not be possible without the trust our clients place in us to elevate their connection to talent in new ways,” said PeopleScout Head of Talent Advisory, David Coombs. “We are honored to be recognized alongside our industry peers and remain committed to developing creative and innovative solutions to our clients’ unique challenges.” 

PeopleScout’s winning entries include: 

Copywriting (in print, online or mobile) – University Hospitals of Derby & Burton  

This healthcare trust was dealing with drastic impacts of employee burnout and sought PeopleScout’s support in driving engagement with their revamped and relaunched Wellness Hub, which offers staff mental and emotional support. The “Don’t be a Hero” campaign used powerful messaging to encourage staff to go against their instincts and ask for help. Judges called the copy emotive, saying it effectively delivered against the creative concept. Clinical leaders at the organization said the campaign hadn’t just increased morale—it saved lives.  

Colleague Communications – University Hospitals of Derby & Burton 

The employee engagement campaign, “Don’t be a Hero,” required a powerful, penetrating message to reach the busy and exhausted staff. Playing off hospital workers’ distaste for being called heroes, the campaign countered the traditional healthcare worker narrative and encouraged them to accept their vulnerabilities. Judges called the messaging “incredibly important” and applauded its “huge impact” giving kudos to everyone involved. Prior to the campaign launch, 90 available weekly psychotherapy sessions available to staff consistently went unfilled. Shortly after the campaign ended, all 90 were filled every week and remained that way for three months.  

PeopleScout’s UK-based talent advisory practice is one of the largest in-house teams in the industry and provides world-class expertise in employer branding, recruitment marketing, assessment, DE&I consulting, talent market insights and more. Their passionate team of problem solvers—from psychologists and creatives to strategists and technologists—offer a depth and breadth of experience with talent audiences across industries, skill sets, demographics and geographics.

      “We are incredibly honored to not only be recognized for our exceptional service and effective talent strategies, but to also receive the distinction of Talent Solutions Provider of the Year,” said Rick Betori, President of PeopleScout. “These awards are a true testament to the tremendous work our people do every day to elevate our clients’ connection to top talent, and the trust our clients put in us to deliver custom solutions to achieve their short- and long-term talent goals.” 

      Judges praised PeopleScout’s exceptional service, thorough understanding of their clients’ business, effective strategies and sustainable results. The panel also shared the following award-specific feedback: 

      • Talent Solutions Provider of the Year – One judge said, “PeopleScout delivered the type of service that every RPO and MSP provider should aspire to.”  
      • Best Talent Attraction Strategy – Judges applauded PeopleScout’s talent strategy, which “diversified the candidate pool in a male-dominated industry and lowered the cost-per-hire”.    
      • Client Service – Judges noted that PeopleScout “took the time to understand the business and its challenges by investing time in visiting sites, incorporating customer feedback and leveraging technology to deliver sustainable results.”  

      The TIARA awards recognize companies across the RPO, MSP and Talent Solutions market and are open to independent providers and business units of recruitment solutions providers. The TIARAs set a standard of excellence and recognize exemplary growth, innovation and leadership.  

      A three-stage judging process ensures credibility and enhances prestige for all award winners. TALiNT Partners’ senior team conducts an initial review to shortlist finalists from all entries. Finalist entries then go to a second round of judging by a panel of distinguished industry professionals. Judges then attend a judging day event to determine winners in each category.
