The wait is almost over. The recruitment community will descend upon the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane in London tonight for the Recruiter Awards for Excellence 2011, supported by Innovate CV.

Hosted once again by TV star and comedian Dara O Briain following his stint in 2008, the awards recognise excellence and exceptional best practice among recruitment firms and recruitment professionals working in-house as well as recruitment outsourcing organisations over the past year.

Visit recruiter.co.uk tomorrow for a list of all the award winners and for the first pictures from what we expect will be a memorable night. For the first time, the event will be covered by our roving video reporter gaining first-hand reaction and insight from this year’s winners.

If you’re not attending the event, you can follow our live Twitter feed, which will announce the award winners in real time at @recruitermag. For anyone wishing to tweet about the event, please use the hash tag #recruiterawards. At the venue tweeters may have to go to the upper levels of the hall to get a signal.

The buzz around the awards has already started – here are some of the Tweets:
