We are proud to share that Anna Smith has been recognised in the Recruiter Insider Q1 2026 Service Excellence Awards for UK and Ireland, taking home the award for Best Consultant Client Experience.
These awards are particularly meaningful because they are based entirely on feedback from the people who matter most, the clients and candidates we work with every day.
Recognition that reflects real experience
Anna’s win is a direct reflection of the experience she delivers to her clients on a daily basis.
Her approach is built on understanding the bigger picture, taking the time to truly listen, and consistently delivering a service that is thoughtful, reliable and tailored to each business she supports. It is this level of care and attention that leads to long-term partnerships, not just placements.
A wider reflection of the Beyond The Book approach
Alongside Anna’s individual success, we are also proud to have been recognised as a Finalist for Best Agency Candidate Experience.
We know that the job market can feel challenging and, at times, overwhelming for candidates. Searching for the right role is not always straightforward, and the experience you have along the way matters just as much as the outcome. That is why we put a real focus on making the process as clear, supportive and positive as possible.
At Beyond The Book, we are committed to providing honest communication, useful guidance and a genuinely human approach throughout the journey, from first conversation through to placement and beyond.
Recognition at both an individual and agency level highlights the consistency of our approach and the standards we hold ourselves to across the team.
Why this matters
For clients, it means working with a partner who prioritises quality, communication and long-term success.
For candidates, it means being supported by a team that understands the realities of the market and is focused on making the process more manageable, transparent and ultimately more rewarding.
Awards like this are never the end goal, but they are an important validation of doing things the right way.
If you are looking for a recruitment partner who puts experience at the centre of everything, or you are exploring your next move, our team is always happy to have a conversation.
