Horner Wins Two Awards at the APSCo Australia Awards for Excellence!

Celebrating Excellence: Proud Winners in the 2024 APSCo Australia Awards for Excellence!

At Horner, we are thrilled to announce that we’ve won not just one, but two prestigious categories at the 2024 APSCo Australia Awards for Excellence:

• Best Workplace Culture; and
• Client Service

Held on Thursday 17 October 2024, Horner representatives joined 250 industry peers for the black-tie Gala Dinner at the Carousel, a breathtaking venue on Albert Park Lake in Melbourne.

This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding recruitment solutions while fostering an environment where our team can thrive.

These awards are run by the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo), an association for the professional recruitment and talent management sector in Australia.

Creating the Best Workplace Culture

Being recognised as a winner for Best Workplace Culture is an honour. At Horner, we foster a collaborative, fun and inclusive work environment, where every employee “has a voice” and are encouraged to contribute ideas and solutions.  We have an approachable and supportive leadership team, work-life balance approach, and opportunities for professional development and to give back to the community.

Last year, we took a bold step by revisiting and refining our vision and values in a collaborative approach at a weekend Retreat in Noosa, ensuring they reflect who we are today and where we’re heading in the future. As a result, we have clear purpose, vision and values. Our new values are: Respect, United, Trusted, Principled, and Dynamic.

We believe that a collaborative and engaged team is the foundation for exceptional service for clients and candidates alike.

A Commitment to Outstanding Client Service

Equally exciting is winning the award for Client Service is a testament to our client-first approach. Every interaction, every placement, and every tailored solution is designed with our clients’ success in mind. From executive search and permanent recruitment solutions to temporary workforce management and HR consulting services, we work closely with employers around Australia to understand their needs, delivering top talent that doesn’t just fill a role but drives business success.

Our dedication to excellence in service is based on people, client-centric philosophy, harnessing technology, innovative approaches and engagement beyond recruitment.

Whether partnering with industry giants, government departments or supporting  start-ups and not-for-profits organisations, we ensure every client experiences the best recruitment outcomes, built on trust, expertise, and a deep understanding of their industry.

Winning this award category is another feather in our cap after winning the ‘Excellence in Client Service’ award at the RCSA Industry Awards earlier this year. 

What These Awards Mean for You

For our clients and candidates, these nominations highlight that partnering with Horner means working with a team that not only delivers results but does so with integrity, care, and a passion for excellence.

For our team, this is a moment of celebration. These awards reflect the hard work, dedication, and shared values that drive our business forward every day. We are proud of the workplace we’ve built and even prouder to see it recognised on such a prominent platform.
