Bond Healthcare named Best Temporary Recruitment Agency in the UK

Belfast firm, Bond Healthcare has been named Best Temporary Recruitment Agency in the UK at the Recruiter Awards 2022 which took place in the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London.

The awards are recognised as the most prestigious honours in the recruitment industry and celebrate best practice, great work and outstanding achievements of in-house, agency, RPO teams and individuals.

The judges commended Bond Healthcare on its excellent compliance record which includes 100% clean audit reports from the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority and its ability to maintain service levels during very challenging times.

Jonathan St Clare, director of Bond Healthcare, said: “We are delighted to win the award for Best Temporary Recruitment Agency in the UK – the only agency from Northern Ireland to be recognised.

"Bond Healthcare provides over 1,000 doctors, nurses and care assistants weekly to hospitals and care homes across the province and with the support of our 30-strong office team, we pride ourselves on providing the best possible service for our clients and our candidates.

"The success we have achieved has only been possible through the hard work and dedication of our staff who have worked tirelessly, seven days a week to drive the growth of the business whilst maintaining the highest possible standards.

"We strive to employ the best people and provide in-depth training to ensure our employees are compliant and working to the best of their ability at all times and we were delighted that the judges recognised that Bond’s staff go the extra mile for their clients and candidates.

“As a business, we continue to innovate and use technology to increase internal efficiencies. For example, we recently introduced the Bond App which allows candidates to manage every aspect of their working life from booking shifts, submitting timesheets, monitoring their compliance record and completing online training.

“It is very rewarding to know that a highly experienced panel of judges, made up of UK and international recruitment industry professionals, selected us from hundreds of entrants in a category that covers any type of temporary recruitment across all industry sectors. This accolade validates what we are trying to achieve and shows we can stand up to independent scrutiny. Our aim is to provide a world-class recruitment service from our base in Northern Ireland and this demonstrates that we are achieving.”
