hyphen, the industry leading recruitment solutions provider, has won the award for Best Embedded Recruiter at last night’s Recruiter awards.

The award recognised the success achieved by hyphen’s direct resourcing team, known as the TAG (Talent Acquisition Group), within Nokia UK between August 2009 and July 2010.

During the 12 month period, the hyphen team successfully decreased recruitment spend through Nokia’s supply chain while improving time to hire, candidate and hiring manager experience. The TAG team subsequently delivered over 450 hires for Nokia UK and oversaw significant cost savings of around £1.1 million.

Greg Allen, EMEA Head of Recruitment at Nokia said: “hyphen’s strategic review of our supply chain demonstrated a lucid understanding of the Nokia vision and how it channels into the organisation’s talent. As such, hyphen were able to support our HR strategy whilst delivering the very best talent to the business. Their recent success is very much deserved.”

Zain Wadee, Managing Director at hyphen said: “Our success at last night’s Recruiter awards is a testament to the fantastic results-driven work the TAG group delivered for Nokia.
