On 26th November 2015, 700 of the industry’s most talented in-house recruiters arrived at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in London for the 2015 In-house Recruitment Awards partnered by First Choice Software and organised by the In-house Recruitment Network.
One thing that made the In-house Recruitment Awards 2015 amazing was the unique nature of this fascinating industry. The way it has grown to prominence as a credible business function and the way that the members of its network are interlinked with each other is quite unlike any other industry.
From the moment everyone arrived, the atmosphere was magical and it only got progressively better as the night unfolded. Heavenly food followed by this year’s special guests, The Chippendoubles, set the room on fire, readying them for a fantastic evening ahead!
