The Stevie Awards for Women in Business are hailed as the world’s premier business awards, honouring women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run –- worldwide.
More than 1,200 entries were submitted this year for consideration in more than 90 categories. Finalists were chosen by more than 140 business professionals worldwide during preliminary judging.
More than 90 members of the five final judging committees determined the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award placements from among the finalists during final judging.
With over 230,000 jobseekers registered on the site and more than 20,000 jobs matched in less than two years since its launch, OneShift is one of the most disruptive forces in the Australian recruitment industry today.
The awards applaud OneShift’s innovative automatic matching system which pairs employees with businesses.
“It’s a remarkable achievement for OneShift to get recognition like this internationally," George said.
"For such a young company to already be enjoying the kind of success we are is truly amazing. We only launched a couple of years ago, but it shows we are already doing plenty of stuff right and gives me a lot of confidence in our business model.
"As a team, we've worked extremely hard to create a business that not only helps jobseekers find employment -- be it temporary or permanent -- to suit their individual skills and job expectations. Equally, we've made hiring so much easier and more cost effective for Australian businesses. It's a huge advantage, and something the business community is quickly recognising.
"It’s encouraging and rewarding to see this new and modern approach to employment being embraced by so many businesses around Australia. We can't wait to see what the future holds."
