The shortlist for the 2021 RAD Awards – which celebrate excellence in employer branding, talent attraction and recruitment advertising – has been revealed.
After much deliberation from the expert industry panel of judges, the finalists in 20 categories including Candidate Experience, Employee Engagement and Employer Website have been announced.
The winners – as well the winner for the coveted Work of the Year title selected from the category winners – will be revealed in a free online event at 4:00pm on Thursday 25 March.
Richard Andrews, divisional director of The RAD Awards, said: “We were delighted to see so many entries submitted into the RADS again this year. Given the challenging times we’ve had it really is testament to the resilience and spirit that characterises our industry. The array of fantastic work shortlisted is a great reflection of this and something that all of the organisations involved should be extremely proud of.”
