Amberjack’s other shortlisted categories include Best Candidate Experience, which recognises the company’s work with Mars, and Best Graduate Recruitment Strategy, in recognition of its work with Network Rail in improving diversity.
The company’s partnership with Morrisons to transform recruitment for its flagship degree apprenticeships has also been shortlisted for the Best School Leaver Recruitment Strategy.
