In honour of the leaders within the recruitment and HR industries who help transform and bolster South Africa's economy, Avusa Media hosted its second Avusa Media Annual Recruitment Awards (AMARAs) - a formal affair held at Scarlet Ribbon, in Stoneridge Mall.
Morvest Human Capital Management was announced as the first runner-up in the category of Recruitment Solutions Agency of the Year 2011. “Winning such a prestigious award is an honour and a great achievement for myself and my team of consultants. We have worked hard the past year and would like to thank all our clients that have contributed to our success,” says Gerrit Olivier, Managing Director of Morvest Human Capital Management (“HCM”).
Morvest HCM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JSE-listed Morvest Business Group, which provides business support services (including professional services and outsourcing solutions) and ICT solutions.
Morvest HCM offers a diverse and encompassing business model to clients. By focusing on delivering an exceptional quality service in its chosen niche markets, Morvest HCM is able to provide clients with scarce and sought-after professionals. “We concentrate on personal interaction with clients through regular consultations, enabling our team to more accurately match resources to each position by gaining a clearer understanding of the specific culture of the organisation, future requirements and the client's expectations,” says Olivier.
The company believes in developing long-term strategic partnerships with all clients and defines the solution by fully understanding each client's requirements and offering full system solutions, services, support and knowledge transfer.
“Recruitment and HR professionals can easily be regarded as the backbone of our local economy,” says Natalie Stephan, Head of Trade Marketing and CRM at Avusa Media. “They help drive the transformation and growth from the ground up - across the length and breadth of South Africa, yet they receive little or no admiration for their part in the greater picture.”
Identifying the lack of recognition recruitment and HR professionals receive from their peers as well as the industries they drive and help mould, during the month of September 2011, Avusa Media called on the public and industry leaders to nominate both their private and public sector candidates worthy of winning an award in their respective category at the 2011 AMARAs.
“The results gathered from the 2011 AMARAs nominations are testament to the work that has been done to encourage those in recruitment, business and advertising to nominate worthy candidates in each category, while also promoting recruitment and HR professions,” adds Stephan. “It's evident from the nominations received that more and more industry leaders are aware of the impact recruitment and HR professionals have on their businesses.”
A well-established management team, flexible solutions and continually expanding database of exceptional professionals distinguish Morvest HCM from its competitors.
