Some of the award categories require entrants to respond to a secure web-based survey, conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, to assess your agency’s financial performance. The responses to the questions will be benchmarked and scored and will form part of the award assessment criteria. The award categories covered by the PwC secure survey are:
- Best Recruitment Advertising Agency
- Executive Recruitment Firm of the Year
- Recruitment Firm of the Year
- Best Small Recruitment Firm
You will need to answer a number of fields, by the close of entries at 10 July 2008. PwC will benchmark each agency, with that score added to the scores from the other criteria in order for the FEMA judges to determine a winner for the above award categories.
The financial information you submit to PwC will not be disclosed to the FEMA judging panel or other third parties. A simple score for each agency will be provided. PwC stands by its record of integrity in safeguarding such information. PwC is also willing to provide each participant a report showing their individually reported data compared to the average. PwC will take into account any restrictions on financial reporting imposed on your agency but a lack of information recorded here will inevitably impact on your overall score.
In order to safeguard the integrity of information supporting the FEMA award process, FEMA reserves the right to request an audit to be conducted by PwC of financial performance information submitted as part of the survey.
