2018 has been another exciting year for us here at CakeHR, with blogging accolades already received from Feedspot and Fit Small Business alongside climbing the ranks as a GetApp HR Category Leader and awarded FrontRunner recognition as a top HRIS management vendor by Software Advice.

We are extremely proud of how far we have come and our achievements in both the top HR software vendor and blogging categories, and now we get to rejoice taking home a silver award from the Blog Awards Ireland 2018 for our blogging efforts in the B2B sector!

Now in its 7th year, The Blog Awards Ireland have become a must attend event. The awards reveal the best of dedicated Irish bloggers across the country. CakeHR is a phenomenal blog with extensive useful information suitable for a wide audience. For bloggers who hope to make the finalist next year, The Blog Awards are looking for easy to read content with a high level of knowledge of their chosen topic.

— Blog Awards 2018 (@BlogAwardsIE) October 26, 2018

This year saw 2000 nominations entered, which were carefully sifted through 4 rounds of extensive judging.  Each blog was reviewed by at least 3 judges who made considerations for numerous factors such as the quality of content, readability, knowledge of the subject matter, navigation and design choices.

The finalist round was judged on writing skills, quality of content, interactions with the public and overall feeling the judges got after reading the blogs.  Were they enjoyable?  Were they inspiring?  Did they use their voice intelligently?

Hence why taking home a silver award in the B2B business category is an achievement we want to shout about!
