Imperial rewarded for recruitment policies

Imperial Tobacco has won a prestigious national award for the process used to attract potential new employees to work for its business in Turkey.

“Imperial was honoured at the 13th annual Human Respect Awards, organised by Kariyer.net, the nation’s leading recruitment website,” Imperial said in a note posted on its website.

“For the second successive year we were rated highly for our efficiency and transparency in dealing with people applying for vacancies.”

The award was accepted by HR manager Vicdan Merter at an award ceremony in Istanbul attended by some of the country’s top employers.

“At Imperial, responsibility is one of the most important elements of our values and is fundamental to the way we do business,” said Merter.

“This award clearly demonstrates our commitment to treating our employees and potential employees with respect and dignity.”
