Start your paperwork now: The deadline for recruitment companies to submit their corporate information to make their mark on the 2022 top industry ranking of the most efficient and profitable businesses is fast approaching.

Recruiter’s HOT 100 will be published in the January-February 2023 issue of the print magazine. The deadline for entries is 28 October 2022. In its 17th year of publication, the HOT 100 2022 will be curated and coordinated by a new partner, Gambit Corporate Finance (Gambit). Gambit succeeds Sue Dodd of Agile Intelligence who is retiring having produced the HOT 100 list for each of its 16 years since inception.

“We will forever be grateful to Sue for her graft, her persistence, her wisdom, imagination and good humour in designing and establishing the methodology for Recruiter’s HOT 100 in its earliest days,” said Recruiter editor DeeDee Doke. “She has established a much vaunted and highly respected recruitment industry benchmark in Recruiter’s HOT 100 and, personally, I’m so proud of what she has achieved for the UK industry and for Recruiter. She is surely an industry treasure.

“Succeeding her as the HOT 100’s custodians and picking up the baton to carry Recruiter’s HOT 100 into future territory are the Gambit team led by partner Geraint Rowe and director Simon Marsden, supported by manager Michael Dunn and analyst William Haggaty, and we have exciting plans to develop the product beyond what it is today,” Doke said.

Marsden commented: “Recruiter’s HOT 100 is a flagship sector publication which recognises the impact of the recruitment sector’s most profitable players. We look forward to reviewing the entries, curating the list and offering our expert views on the key trends exhibited and our insight on the implications for the sector’s outlook for 2023.”

Geraint Rowe, partner at Gambit, also added: “We are delighted to be partnering with Recruiter to produce the Recruiter HOT 100 publication, which acknowledges the highest performing organisations in the UK recruitment sector. The list recognises those who have demonstrated operational and financial excellence, a core pillar of our strategic focus as a leading provider of M&A advice to the recruitment sector.”
