Excellence in IT Recruitment

Computerworld and the Information Technology Contract and Recruitment Association (ITCRA) are pleased to call for entries in a new award recognising excellence in IT recruitment.

The award aims to celebrate true excellence, considering factors such as customer service, ethics, training and innovation. But there's a twist: this award will, in part, be judged by the recruitment companies' customers.

ITCRA and Computerworld are polling New Zealand's top corporate and government CIOs to discover which recruitment companies they use and how they rate them. Those results will inform a high-level, independent panel of judges who will consider written entries from New Zealand's leading IT recruitment organisations.
