31st October - a date usually most associated with Halloween and another passed Brexit deadline.

But, for a room full of the recruitment industries' finest, the date represents a tense, nervous wait as the finalists for the Recruitment Investing In Talent Awards gather to find out who will take away the prestigious awards.

Boston Hale were finalists in no less than 3 categories this year:

Best Onboarding Programme

Most Effective Professional Development Programme

Best Recruitment Agency To Work For - 20-49 employees

The competition was extremely tough; fellow finalists included some well-known industry organisations, many of them larger than us and established many years before. As a young, boutique business, we were extremely proud to be amongst them.

On the night, 10 of Boston Hale's management team and employees attended the black-tie ceremony, a fabulous evening of celebration organised by Recruiter Magazine, a tip industry publication and the company behind the Awards,

And we are delighted to announce that we came away a winner, taking home the Best Onboarding Programme Award!

The awards were judged by an independent panel of industry stalwarts. They recognised the work that Boston Hale has done to create an onboarding programme that puts our values to the fore and equips new starters with the tools they need to start a successful career. 

Many thanks to the judging panel and to all at Recruiter Magazine, we are absolutely thrilled.

Bring on next year's event!
