ANNE Corder Recruitment has retained its quality certification for the 26th consecutive year – having risen to the challenges faced by the business world in a turbulent year.

The Peterborough-based recruitment firm has again passed its quality review, with inspectors praising the team of experienced recruitment professionals and their “outstanding” management methods.

Recognised as the only international indicator of quality, the ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) 9001:2015 certification demonstrates ACR’s commitment to running an efficient and cost-effective business, as well as the commitment paid to the well- being of staff and candidates alike.

And all this in a year where businesses have been faced with making challenging decisions while facing the uncertainties presented by working through a pandemic.

Anne Corder (pictured) said: “ISO certification shows our commitment to always meeting the very highest business standards. The positive impact this approach has upon candidates and clients is clear in our exceptional satisfaction ratings. We are particularly proud of this achievement this year, not least because of the challenging times everyone has faced.

“We have continued to operate a ‘business as usual’ in most unusual circumstances and of course we are once again delighted with the outcome and high praise from the inspectors who have recognised our robust and proven working ethos.”

Inspectors spent time reviewing the company’s methods and systems, with an evaluation being made through record verification and sampling methodologies.

The final report made special mention of the Peterborough-based recruitment company’s ‘comprehensive knowledge of current markets’, ‘mature and well maintained quality management system’, ‘forward thinking’ and ‘continuous improvement aspects for clients and job seekers.
