Agency of the year – Large Agency National Recruitment Federation 2011 Award winner is Parc Aviation.

This award was sponsored by LinkedIN.

    This category portrayed all entries showcasing fantastic standards.  Unfortunately a smaller selection had to be made based on the applications presented.  The winner quite literally pipped at the post, but win they did, based on their demonstration of their industry leadership at interview that simply complimented their application. They have a clear vision of what is expected of them from the customer. They are focused on their business and the balance is spot on between the customer/candidates and their internal staff.
Their commitment to meeting the expectations of their client was very evident which made them a very strong contender in this category.
