A Note from the Editor
This week we were very proud to announce the winners of our ninth annual Blog of the Year Awards. This year we took well over 200 nominations whittled them down to 18 finalists. We split them in to 4 categories - Recruitment Agency Blog, Individual Agency Recruiter Blog, In-house Recruiter Blogger and Recruitment Industry Supplier Blog and brought in a fantastic judging panel to evaluate each one and make the final winning decisions. You can see all the winners in our blog, UK Recruitment Blog of the Year 2015 - WINNERS.

In celebration of the awards, our articles this week are all taken from the winning blogs. Hope you enjoy them.

This is the last newsletter of 2015. Personally, I cannot quite understand where the year has gone but I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in 2016!
