Lifetime Achievement Award

This is for a corporate (or government/non-profit) recruiting leader honored for a lifetime, not one year, of service. There aren't applications for it, but if you have someone you think is deserving, let us (email todd@ere.net) know and we'll bring it to the judges. The Award for Lifetime Achievement will be given each year to the entry, if any, that judges consider most worthy of the name. Other entries may receive an Award of Excellence or Certificate of Merit based on judges' assessments. Criteria for evaluating application for the Award are as follows. Documented evidence that the submitted nominee:

Has worked consistently and steadfastly to assure and/or to improve the Field of Recruitment and/or Talent Management or research in the field of Recruitment and/or Talent Management over a continuous period of at least 10 years
