Ashley Kate Celebrates Recruiter Awards 2026 Shortlist Recognition
We’re proud to share that Ashley Kate HR & Finance has been shortlisted for the Candidate Care Award at the Recruiter Awards 2026, marking a fantastic milestone during our 25th year in business.
Recognised as one of the UK’s most prestigious recruitment industry events, the Recruiter Awards celebrate the businesses and professionals setting the standard for excellence, innovation and best practice. Held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 22 September, this year’s awards brought together some of the most respected names in recruitment from across the country.
Being named a finalist in the Candidate Care Award category is particularly meaningful for us. Candidate care has always been at the heart of what we do, and this recognition reflects our long-standing commitment to supporting HR and finance professionals throughout their career journeys.
For the last 25 years, we’ve focused on building genuine relationships with candidates and clients, delivering a personalised recruitment experience that goes beyond simply matching skills to vacancies. Whether someone is searching for their next HR leadership role, a finance opportunity, an interim assignment or specialist professional support, our aim is always to ensure they feel informed, valued and supported throughout the recruitment process.
Our shortlisting recognises the dedication of our team to providing an exceptional candidate experience, from the very first conversation through to successful placement and beyond. We understand that changing jobs can be one of the most important decisions someone makes, which is why we place such a strong emphasis on honest advice, expert guidance and long-term career support.
As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, this recognition serves as a reminder of the values that have shaped Ashley Kate HR & Finance since day one. Building trust, creating meaningful relationships and putting people first remain central to everything we do.
The achievement is also a reflection of the strong partnerships we have developed with organisations across the UK. By taking the time to understand both candidate aspirations and client requirements, we’re able to create successful recruitment outcomes that benefit everyone involved.
While we didn’t take home the award on the night, being recognised as a finalist at a national recruitment awards programme is an achievement we’re incredibly proud of. It highlights the expertise, professionalism and people-first approach demonstrated by our team every day and reinforces our reputation as a trusted partner for HR recruitment and finance recruitment across the UK.
As we look ahead to the next chapter of our journey, we’re more committed than ever to delivering outstanding candidate care, building lasting relationships and helping talented HR and finance professionals achieve their career ambitions.
A huge thank you to our candidates, clients and colleagues who have supported us over the last 25 years. Your trust has helped us reach this milestone, and we’re excited to continue supporting careers and businesses for many years to come.
