Hays, the world’s leading recruiting experts in qualified, professional and skilled people, has been awarded the ‘Best LinkedIn Company Page of 2017’ title by LinkedIn.
LinkedIn announced the top ten Company Pages after analysing over 9,000 nominations from LinkedIn members and assessing the quality of content shared via these pages.
Hays, with over 1.7million LinkedIn followers, has had a strong presence on the professional social network since 2012, when through the development of cross system awareness it became the first recruitment company to work closely with LinkedIn, providing an even better offering to their clients and candidates. Hays CEO, Alistair Cox, who has been a LinkedIn Influencer since 2012, has been listed in the top ten most viewed LinkedIn leader profiles in the UK. Hays was also named as the ‘Most Socially Engaged Global Recruitment Company’ on LinkedIn by the social networking site in late 2016.
Catherine Gutsell, Senior Content & Social Media Manager, Hays plc, said on the award, “We are so pleased to have been awarded this title. Our in-depth knowledge of the world of work makes us uniquely positioned to produce valuable content which is tailored to the needs of our audiences. This recognition really is testament to the hard work and unwavering commitment our business has to using LinkedIn in a way that brings real value to our clients and candidates across the world.”
