RecruitmentPlus Named as One of the Best Workplaces in Ireland

We are delighted to announce that we have been officially recognised as one of the Best Workplaces in Ireland in 2020. The annual Great Place to Work, Best Workplaces in Ireland awards, took place in the Clayton Hotel on Burlington Road, Dublin on Wednesday 26^th February 2020. This is our first year to be named as a top Irish workplace, which is assessed through Great Place to Work’s robust ‘Trust Index©’ employee survey and a thorough ‘Culture Audit©’ assessment of their policies and practices.

We were ranked as the 14th best small workplace in Ireland.

In attendance on the evening were Anne-Marie Wallace, Bernice Brennan, Hazel Whelan, Lorna Ward, Zuzana Foley and Managing Director Anne Fanthom who says, “Thanks to all our colleagues, candidates and clients for their good wishes on our Great Places to Work achievement. The team are thrilled and reaching 14th place out of 37 in our first year of entry is a huge accolade.”

About Great Place to Work® and the Assessment Process

The key defining feature of a great workplace is the level of trust that exists within it. From an employee’s viewpoint, the definition of a great workplace is one where you trust the people you work with, you have great pride in what you do, and you enjoy the people you work with. The Great Place to Work Institute assesses the policies and practices in place in organisations under nine key areas: Inspiring, Speaking, Listening, Caring, Developing, Thanking, Hiring, Celebrating, and Sharing. They then benchmark these practices against other organisations in that country. The second key component of the assessment is an anonymous Trust Index survey that gathers the perceptions of employees under five dimensions: Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride, and Camaraderie. Finally, there is an in-depth qualitative analysis of open-ended comments from employees.

RecruitmentPlus wins SME of the Year

February 22, 2020/in Company History, Home Page Posts, Temp News /by RecruitmentPlus

A hearty congratulations to our Dundalk team for being awarded “Best SME of the Year” at the 2019 Louth Business Awards.

The awards were held on Saturday 19^th October at the Carrickdale Hotel with over 650 attending from businesses across Louth. Representing RecruitmentPlus on the night were: Anne Fanthom- Managing Director, Hazel Whelan- Director, Zuzana Foley- Regional Manager, Ciara Byrne- Senior Consultant and Jean Bailey- Temporary Division Consultant.

There were over 20 awards given out on the evening including the “Lifetime Award for Contribution to Louth” which was presented to Jim O’Callaghan of TSM Controls. He founded the company over 40 years ago and TSM is now a global organization exporting to 76 countries. Mr. O’Callaghan was president of Dundalk Chamber of commerce during the mid-80s and during his tenure he drove a cross-border initiative re-establishing contact between chambers of commerce on both sides of the border. A well-deserved award!

RecruitmentPlus were finalists in two categories- Best Training Initiative sponsored by the Louth and Meath Education and Training Board and Best SME of the Year sponsored by VHI Healthcare. The best Training Initiative award went to National Pen, a great employer based in Dundalk.

The highlight of the evening for our team was winning Best SME of the Year. We were delighted to have been short-listed among a strong group of finalists including Foxpak Flexibles, Fyffes, Nova Leah and Great Northern Distillery. All of these companies have made an impact to the region and we were proud to be part of this list of companies.

As members of the National Recruitment Federation, winning the award was a testament to the importance of the recruitment sector in Ireland. We pride ourselves on “Proactively partnering people” and that personal approach seems to have really made an impact on the judges for the Louth Business Awards. Our clients and candidates are at the heart of everything we do and our consultants go out of their way to ensure we place the right people in the right jobs.

The award was accepted by Regional Manager Zuzana Foley. “As a recruitment agency, we work with a good percentage of the companies in attendance at the awards and accepting that award among these clients and colleagues was an amazing experience”, said Foley.

Each company short-listed at the awards should be incredibly proud of their achievement. It is no secret that the worries of Brexit are on everyone’s minds, especially in a border county. Regardless of these worries, these companies continue to thrive and forward-plan with enthusiasm and optimism. This was a great night for the northeast and highlighted the importance of that region to Ireland’s economy.
