"David Owens, Managing Director at Silver winner HR Partners, says that internal recruitment teams have had an 'interesting' year. He believes the majority of in-house teams have been well supported over the past 12 months, with many organisations pushing as much traffic as possible through these internal teams.
At the same time, in some cases he feels there simply has not been enough recruitment activity to justify the headcount numbers many of these teams have grown to. "This has resulted in some organisations using the in-house recruitment team as an internal talent pool and a number of in-house recruiters and recruitment team managers have migrated into mainstream HR roles in the last 12 months" , he says.
Moving in to 2010, Owens anticipates that the market will be increasingly competitive. "I think the challenge for organisations will be to have a broad range of offerings which ensure they have a compelling value proposition. Recruiters themselves will need to keep pace with this increasingly sophisticated and demanding environment," he says.

"In 2007, the year Digby Morgan acquired HR Partners, the business won the Highly Recommended award in the annual Human Capital awards for the Australia's top service provider in HR Recruitment. Last year, 2008, HR Partners was awarded Bronze. This year HR Partners has been awarded the Silver medal, and the team in Australia is delighted that we have progressively polled better results in each of the last three years. It's a wonderful acknowledgment of the quality of work being done by our teams in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. We are doing very well in a tough market. Clearly, next year we have everything to play for and we are looking to win Gold in 2010 and gain further ground for our reputation in HR Recruitment.
