Culture 50 is a 12-month award in partnership with Major Press, Gallop, and backed by People leaders from Google, Hubspot, Adecco Group, and more, with one simple mission: Selecting the 50 best recruitment companies to work for, so the recruitment companies that look after their people can stand out from the crowd with 100% authority.

THE RECRUITMENT COMPANIES THAT REALLY MATTER
By winning the Culture 50 Award, companies become the best-known and trusted recruitment companies in their space.
For clients, candidates, and potential employees - deciding which recruitment company to go for is a minefield with intense competition.
Instead of an incredibly crowded market of 10,000+ recruitment companies. Culture 50 only showcases the 50 companies where employees can thrive. So you can stand out above the noise and tell your clients, candidates, and future employees you’re in the 1%.
To allow each awarded company to have even more authority and status in their market, & over their competition, each company will be showcased in a more entertaining & inspirational way as we move towards a new world of working. More below.
