We’re absolutely buzzing with excitement here at Citrus Connect! Our founder Leena Parmar has been shortlisted for the prestigious “Candidate Experience Of the Year” award at the REC Awards 2024, and we couldn’t be prouder.
This incredible recognition highlights our passion for providing an exceptional candidate journey, where we go the extra mile to empower individuals in their career choices.
For those who don’t know, the REC Awards are a huge deal in the UK recruitment world. They’re exclusively for members of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation and represent the highest accolade for recruitment excellence. The “Candidate Experience” category is particularly special to us because it celebrates recruiters who understand that finding the right job can be a truly life-changing experience.
Our founder, Leena Parmar, has been the driving force behind our candidate-centric approach from day one.
“We’re incredibly excited for the REC Awards ceremony on November 21st,” says Leena. “Ultimately, though, the greatest reward is witnessing our candidates thrive, knowing we’ve played a small part in their success.”
What makes our candidate experience so special? Here are a few things we do differently:
We get to know YOU: As a leading recruitment agency UK, we’re not just about matching skills to job descriptions. We take the time to understand your unique aspirations and potential, so we can help you find a role where you’ll truly shine.
We’ve helped people transform their lives: We’ve supported countless candidates in securing life-changing roles within sales recruitment.
Take Kirsten-Anne, for example.
She was a swimming instructor with no sales experience, but we saw her potential and encouraged her to transition into a successful sales career. Now, she’s smashing her targets and earning more than she ever thought possible!
Or Barry Halliday, a retired police commander, who found a fulfilling role that aligned with his values and provided the flexibility he desired.
We go above and beyond: We’re always looking for ways to exceed your expectations. Our two-call screening process ensures we find the perfect match for you and your skills. We even offer guidance on self-employment in direct sales, opening up new possibilities for your career. And throughout the entire process, we provide transparent feedback and support, so you always feel valued and prepared.
We’re always learning and improving: We actively seek your feedback to ensure we’re providing the best possible candidate experience. This commitment to improvement is reflected in our impressive 70% offer rate and 80% start rate from offers.
Being shortlisted for this REC Award means the world to us. It’s a testament to our dedication to putting candidates first and our commitment to being the best recruitment agency in the UK recruitment industry.
