Annapurna is an innovative and multi award-winning recruitment agency based in London and Munich. It has developed a culture that is "as close to a family organisation as it could be". It says: "Everyone has a genuine interest in looking out for one another with a culture of responsibility promoted."

The environment is inclusive and staff are made up of an abundance of nationalities. The company seeks to promote diversity and its sister organisation, the Business Transformation Network, sits at the heart of its relationship-based recruitment ethos. It uses the platform and its media skills to empower staff to produce podcasts, host events, and record videos on topics relevant to clients.

One of its best-received pieces of content was Erupt, which proposed the idea that neurodiverse candidates were the solution to the technology talent gap. It was presented at the company's conference last year, and leaders from Rolls Royce and easyJet took part in a panel discussion.

All staff are hired because of their grit, resilience and determination to succeed, which produces a competitive working environment. Annapurna builds its reputation on the quality of its consultants and what they deliver to clients. Every year, the company has summer-holiday and a super-trip targets. Over the years, it has taken employees to places such as Cape Town, Las Vegas, Lisbon, the Algarve and Barcelona.
