Sammons is proud to announce that we have been named Winner of Best Client Support at the 2026 Recruitment Awards, hosted by Business Awards UK. The Group was also recognised as a Finalist and Runner-Up in the Best Recruitment Support Service category, highlighting the strength of the services delivered across our teams.
Recognition at the 2026 Recruitment Awards reflects the collective commitment across our Group to deliver high standards of recruitment support for both clients and candidates.
For us, recruitment has always been about more than simply filling vacancies. It is about building trusted relationships, understanding the needs of the organisations we work with and providing consistent, reliable support throughout the recruitment process.

Recognising Excellence in Client Support
Winning Best Client Support at the 2026 Recruitment Awards is particularly meaningful because it reflects one of the core principles that underpins the Sammons approach: building long-term partnerships with our clients.
Across today’s recruitment market, organisations are looking for recruitment partners who can offer more than transactional hiring support. They want advisers who understand their business, their sector and the talent challenges they face.
At Sammons Recruitment Group, our teams focus on providing:
- Transparent communication throughout the hiring process
- Deep sector knowledge and candidate networks
- Consistent recruitment delivery and governance
- Long-term relationship management
These principles help ensure that our clients receive not only high-quality candidates, but also a recruitment partner they can rely on.
Recognition at the 2026 Recruitment Awards reinforces the value of maintaining this approach in an increasingly competitive recruitment landscape.
Specialist Expertise Across the Group
The award also reflects the breadth of services provided across our Group.
Our specialist pensions recruitment division continues to support employers, pension advisory firms, administrators and regulatory organisations with highly specialised talent. The pensions sector requires a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks, technical knowledge and evolving workforce needs.
Alongside this specialist division, our generalist recruitment team represents a significant part of the Group’s delivery capability, supporting organisations across the UK with both permanent, temporary and contract recruitment. The team partners with a wide range of businesses across professional services, administration, operational roles and customer service, providing reliable hiring solutions in fast-moving and high-demand areas of the workforce.
Through strong relationships and a deep understanding of labour markets, the team has built a reputation for consistent delivery, responsiveness and practical recruitment expertise. This has enabled Sammons to support employers not only in specialist sectors, but also in the day-to-day hiring needs that keep organisations operating and growing.
This balance of specialist expertise and strong generalist recruitment capability remains a defining strength of the Group and the recognition received at the 2026 Recruitment Awards reflects the value of this combined approach.

The Importance of Recruitment Support
Being recognised as a Finalist and Runner-Up in the Best Recruitment Support Service category further highlights the importance of providing consistent support throughout the recruitment journey.
Successful recruitment outcomes rely on clear processes, strong communication and an understanding of both client requirements and candidate expectations.
At Sammons, our consultants work closely with organisations to ensure that recruitment processes remain efficient, transparent and aligned with each organisation’s long-term hiring objectives.
This includes providing insight into market conditions, salary expectations and talent availability – all of which help clients make informed hiring decisions.
Recognition in two categories at the 2026 Recruitment Awards reflects the continued focus our teams place on delivering a professional and structured recruitment service.
High Standards in a Changing Recruitment Market
The recruitment sector has experienced significant change in recent years. Organisations are adapting to shifting economic conditions, new workforce expectations and the increasing importance of digital recruitment tools.
In this environment, businesses are looking for recruitment partners who can deliver more than just candidate introductions. They want consultative recruitment services, market insight and reliable delivery.
At Sammons, we have focused on maintaining high standards across every stage of the recruitment process, including:
- Transparent communication with clients and candidates
- Process-led recruitment delivery
- Strong compliance and governance
- Consistent relationship management
These principles have helped us build long-standing client relationships and a strong reputation across the markets we serve.
Recognition at the 2026 Recruitment Awards reinforces the importance of maintaining these standards even as the industry continues to evolve.
The Power of People in Recruitment
Behind every successful recruitment business are the people who make it happen.
Most importantly, this award is a reflection of our teams. High standards are not achieved in isolation. They are built every day through the professionalism, commitment and expertise that our consultants bring to every conversation, every placement and every client partnership.
Across the Group, our consultants work closely with both clients and candidates to understand the wider context of each opportunity. That includes understanding organisational culture, long-term career ambitions and the evolving skills required within specialist sectors.
This people-first approach remains central to the way Sammons operates. Winning at the 2026 Recruitment Awards recognises the consistent effort our teams invest in delivering that experience.
Supporting Clients and Candidates
While industry recognition is always appreciated, our primary focus remains the same: delivering value for the organisations and professionals we work with.
For clients, this means providing access to specialist talent pools and delivering recruitment processes that are efficient, transparent and reliable.
For candidates, it means providing guidance, insight and support as they navigate important career decisions.
This dual commitment to both clients and candidates is a core part of the Sammons philosophy and one of the reasons we have continued to build long-term relationships across the sectors we serve.
Recognition through the 2026 Recruitment Awards reinforces the importance of maintaining these standards in a competitive recruitment market.
A Trusted Recruitment Partner
For organisations seeking a recruitment agency in the UK, choosing the right partner has never been more important. Businesses are increasingly looking for recruitment consultants who combine specialist market knowledge with a structured and transparent recruitment process.
At Sammons, our teams deliver specialist recruitment services built on long-term relationships, sector expertise and a deep understanding of the markets we serve. Whether supporting organisations with specialist pensions recruitment or broader hiring needs, our goal remains the same: to act as a trusted recruitment partner for both clients and candidates.
Recognition at the 2026 Recruitment Awards reflects the strength of that approach and reinforces our commitment to delivering consistent recruitment expertise across the UK.
While we are proud to receive this recognition, our focus remains firmly on the future. We believe our foundations will allow Sammons to continue delivering value for both clients and candidates in the years ahead.
