Ongo Recruitment shortlisted for national community award

Ongo Recruitment has been shortlisted for a national Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) Award, recognising the difference the team makes in local communities through its unique social enterprise approach.

The team has been named a finalist in the Community Impact category, which celebrates recruitment organisations that create positive social, economic and environmental outcomes while operating successful businesses.

Over the last year, the team has supported more than 300 people into employment, filled 96 permanent roles and created 52 apprenticeships.

Jan Williams, our Head of Opportunities, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be shortlisted. This recognition reflects the hard work of the whole team and the strong partnerships we’ve built with employers across the region.

“What makes this special is that it recognises much more than recruitment performance. It recognises the impact that good employment opportunities can have on people’s confidence, wellbeing and future prospects. Helping people into work and supporting local communities is at the heart of why we’re here, so it’s fantastic to see that recognised nationally, whether we’re announced as winners or not.”

Good luck to everyone involved.
