The Best Recruitment Agency to Work for is…. Keystream!
It’s official! We have been crowned the Best Recruitment Agency To Work For of our size!
The Recruiter Investing In Talent awards ceremony took place this week, celebrating the best employers in the recruitment business.
Shortlisted for 3 awards, we came away with the highly prized Best Recruitment Agency To Work For – Small 20 – 49 employees.
It’s a fantastic achievement! We were up against extremely tough competition on the shortlist.
“We are incredibly proud to win this award. Our teams have worked extremely hard throughout the pandemic, and this demonstrates our commitment to them, and our networks, during that time.” Said Johnny Stein, Director & Co-Founder.”
What the judges said
Award entries are judged by a panel of industry experts from top global and UK companies, who look objectively at the merits of each during a rigorous assessment process.
Here’s why they thought Keystream deserved to win:
“Keystream were very supportive of their staff during Covid, with proactive measures in place to support their wellbeing, which included relaxing targets and putting non-urgent projects on hold. Staff who were parents could also reduce their hours to support home-schooling without loss of pay. Overall, their benefits package is impressive. The judges were impressed by firms that participated in the externally accredited system Investors in People and scored above the industry averages.”
The judges also mentioned our:
- Comprehensive onboarding programme
- Introduction of EDI Champion roles
- Record on internal promotion
- Successful apprenticeship programme
- Annual social events and team activities
- The work we did for our NHS client base during Covid
The Awards ceremony
What a night! The team from Recruiter Magazine and the venue team put on a fantastic event, this year hosted by Ben Hanlin who provided some excellent ‘magical’ entertainment.
“After a couple of years of very limited opportunities to network because of covid, this year’s awards celebration was particularly special. The Brewery is a venue that always delivers, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Of course, the win made it a particularly memorable night for us!” said Andrew Jukes, Director & Co-Founder.
A huge thank you to the judging panel, Recruiter Magazine & Editor DeeDee and The Brewery and congratulations to all the winners and shortlisted entrants.
We’re already looking forward to the next one!

On the Frontline of Change: My Role as Cutover Manager in an EPR Go-Live
In healthcare, change doesn’t happen in the background. It happens in real time, where patients are being treated, clinicians are making decisions, and every second counts. So, when we implemented a new Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system, it wasn’t just a digital upgrade. It was a major transformation in how care is delivered. As the…
Reflections from Rewired 2025
If there’s one message that echoed across Rewired 2025, it’s this: before digital transformation can succeed, the basics need to be right. That might sound simple, but in a climate of shifting structures, tighter budgets, and growing demand, it’s anything but. Across panels, keynotes, and informal conversations, it was clear the digital health community is…
Keeping NHS Care on Track: Why Improving Access is a Logistics Challenge, Not Just a Clinical One
The NHS 2025/26 Planning Guidance sets clear targets for improving elective, emergency, and cancer care. But if we’re serious about reducing waiting times and improving access, we need to shift our perspective. Right now, the focus is on clinical capacity – do we have enough doctors, nurses, beds, or scanners? While this is important, it…
Integrated Care: Bridging the Digital Disconnect
Recent discussions around NHS England’s digital transformation efforts have highlighted a growing challenge: while integrated care is the goal, the digital infrastructure supporting it remains fragmented. Interoperability issues, inconsistent adoption of technology, and a lack of cohesive strategy have resulted in a system that struggles to deliver on its promise of seamless, joined-up services. Integrated…
January Reflections: Resolutions, Data, and the Art of Structuring Chaos
Every January, I start the year with a plan. A structured, well-thought-out roadmap for the year ahead. It begins with data collection—pulling information from different sources, categorising it, scaling options, and arranging them neatly into a structured list. I analyse, prioritise, refine. And then? Well, just like most well-intentioned plans, it all gets reshuffled, adjusted,…
Go Live Is Just the Beginning: Why Digital Success Depends on People
When it comes to digital transformation in healthcare, go live is often celebrated as a milestone, sometimes the milestone. But as we explored in our recent webinar, go live is far from the finish line. It is just the beginning of a much bigger journey. The real work starts after the switch is flipped, and…
Benefits are like Pokemon – you’ve got to catch them all!
I’ll be the first to admit, I may have over done it on the title. But there is a seriousness to the point I raise. In my experience, I have conversations with client teams who can tell me about all the “fantastic” work they are currently doing or plan to deliver but lack either all…
Go-Live is Just the Beginning: Realising the Full Potential of Digital Transformation in the Public Sector
For many organisations in the public sector, the go-live of a new digital solution is celebrated as the end of a long and complex journey. But in reality, reaching this milestone is only halfway. For a digital solution to deliver its true potential, it must be continually refined to align with the daily workflows of…
