Profit matters — and Recruiter’s Hot 100 is the list to be seen on when it comes to presenting the total package of productivity, efficiency and great recruitment practice.

In the 16 November issue, Recruiter will publish the 2011 Hot 100, listing the UK recruitment companies with the greatest gross profit per employee.

Leading research company Agile Intelligence will undertake the analysis and create this list.

To be included in the Hot 100 reflects well on your company’s performance in a highly competitive market and on its management. Being listed on the Hot 100 draws attention to your company as an attractive investment option, or as a vibrant company to partner with, or simply to build community confidence in your product.

If your company did not feature in the 2010 Hot 100, but you would like for it to be considered this year, it must meet the following criteria:

• Gross profit (net fees): at least £1.5m

• Employees: minimum of 20, in view of continuing challenges in the market

• Gross profit/average employee: at least £40k

If your company meets or exceeds those criteria, send your latest available audited accounts (no older than 2010) disclosing turnover, providing clear evidence of gross profit (net fee income) and answer the questions below, including prior year comparisons:

• What are your average employee numbers?

• What percentage of your gross profit derives from permanent placement?

• What are your three main candidate sectors, ordered by size of gross profit?

• What proportion of gross profit derives from public sector?
