We're over the moon for Jodie, who just snagged a whopping win at the REC Awards. She was in the running for not one, not two, but three awards: Best Candidate Experience, Permanent Recruiter of the Year, and Business Leader of the Year. Jodie fought her way to the top and nabbed the prestigious Permanent Recruiter of the Year award, while also earning a sweet shoutout (Highly Commended) for Business Leader of the Year. Needless to say, Jodie and the Rebels partied like rock stars, and she's still on cloud nine!

The REC Awards
The REC Awards celebrate the best in UK recruitment, showcasing the work of brilliant recruiters from across the industry from agency to in-house and from start-ups to multi- nationals. REC’s role is to drive standards and empower recruiters to be brilliant and the annual REC Awards celebrate those that hit and exceed the standards.
In all, 50 individual and 77 company entries were shortlisted across 19 categories. The winners were announced at the REC Awards ceremony at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on 23 November 2023.
Neil Carberry, Chief Executive of the REC, said: “In a year where opportunities have been harder to find and client businesses have been under pressure from high inflation and low growth, people have needed recruiters all the more to help them navigate a fast-changing market. From workforce planning to sourcing new forms of skills as the labour market is disrupted by technological change, our industry has never been more vital. Winners should feel immense pride because the standard of entries was very high and the judges had to make some extraordinarily tough
decisions.”
Jodie Rafferty couldn't contain her excitement as she shared:
"The last 18 months have been nothing short of extraordinary for Rafferty Resourcing. We've overcome challenges, pushed ourselves to new heights and accomplished more than we ever imagined possible. And now, we've received industry recognition for our hard work and dedication”.
