JV Named a Best Brand Finalist in APSCo Australia Awards for Excellence

September 8, 2024

We’re incredibly excited to share that JV Recruitment has been named a finalist in the APSCo Australia Awards for Excellence in the Best Brand category!


This nod from APSCo spotlights JV's dedication to building a brand that’s not just recognised but deeply trusted by our staff and our customers in the construction sector. The Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) gives a unique voice to staffing firms that demonstrate a steadfast commitment to excellence - just like us! We are thrilled to be acknowledged among Australia's finest, reinforcing our place as a leader in the recruitment industry.


To qualify for the Best Brand category, we responded to several in-depth questions covering the following key assessment criteria:


  • What our brand values are and how these values are carried throughout JV's business communications and business branding
  • How JV's team uphold our brand values
  • Examples of how JV's brand clearly communicates our values
  • How JV's brand strategy connects to our commercial goals


This was a great opportunity for us to showcase our #WorkDoneRight brand promise, and our seven core values, which sit at the heart of our operations across Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland:


Hunger + Humble + Smarts + Courage + Endurance + Mateship + Sacrifice


Being shortlisted for this award also comes hot on the heels of recently being listed as one of Australia's Best Workplaces for 2024 by Great Place To Work. These accolades underscore our commitment to maintaining a supportive, inclusive, and dynamic work environment.


A big shoutout to APSCo for their support and recognition of the recruitment industry and to all the other finalists. We’re looking forward to the APSCo Gala Dinner in October when the winners will be announced.


If you’re curious about what makes JV a "Best Brand" in recruitment and a Great Place To Work, or if you’re considering partnering with us, feel free to reach out.


Here’s to hoping for more good news in October, and our thanks to everyone who has contributed to making our brand one of the best in the business!
