Ward Personnel wins Employment and Recruitment Federation award for construction

Ward Personnel was voted the winner in the Specialist Recruiter category at the Employment and Recruitment Federation (ERF) Awards 2023. The awards ceremony, held last Friday, November 24th in the Shelbourne Hotel, brought together hundreds of industry professionals to recognise excellence in Ireland’s employment and recruitment industry.

The Employment and Recruitment Federation Awards, the ERF’s annual flagship event, featured companies across multiple sectors of the employment and recruitment industry competing for a range of awards.

Speaking on receipt of the award, David Ward, Managing Director of Ward Personnel, said: “We are honoured to have been both nominated and chosen to receive this prestigious award. The competition from specialist companies across the recruitment industry was very strong this year. This is a huge honour for us, as it is the first time that a specialist construction recruitment company has won an ERF award.

This award is primarily down to our terrific team, who work tirelessly every day to manage and support our site workforce across the country for our valued clients. We would especially like to thank our candidates and clients for supporting us throughout 2023 and for making this award possible.”

Since its establishment in 2010, Ward Personnel has expanded year on year with offices in Cork, Dublin, Athlone, and Poland, providing recruitment solutions to the Construction and Industrial sectors.

Earlier this year, the company launched a dedicated Management and Technical division, expanding its white-collar service offerings. Ward Personnel has a team of over 40 recruitment specialists managing a site workforce of more than 600 employees across approximately 200 sites throughout Ireland.
