LONDON, August 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Huxley Associates has won the coveted Best HR Recruiter 2010 at the 'Here is the City' annual awards. With a readership of 250,000 clients and candidates, an impressive 20% of the HereIsTheCity.com's audience cast their ballots in the best recruiter category. Beating rivals Hays and Hudson, Huxley Associates took the crown, as readers voted them the company with the highest HR service levels over the last year.

In addition to market knowledge, HR clients and candidates alike repeatedly highlighted the company's industry-leading database and vertical market focus as features that place Huxley Associates head and shoulders above the competition.

Reflecting on the achievement, Huxley HR team Manager Ciara Clarke said: We're delighted to win this poll - it's a real testament to the expertise and enthusiasm we have at Huxley Associates for HR recruitment.

She continued: By valuing both the client and the candidate experience, we've been able to establish and develop strong relationships - even through recent challenging times. We're proud that our hard work has been recognised, and want to thank all the Here Is The City readers who voted for us.

2010 has been a winning year for Huxley Associates and in May it joined an elite group of companies to be named as one of the UK's top 40 'Great Places to Work' (GPTW) for the seventh consecutive year. Sponsored by the Sunday Times, judges at the GPTW Institute recognised Huxley as a company in which employees trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do and enjoy the people they work with.
