NEW YORK -- TMP Worldwide Advertising & Communications, the world's largest independent recruitment advertising agency, today announced that it captured 7 WebAwards from the annual Web Marketing Association (WMA) competition. The WebAward Competition, now in its 11th year, is the premier annual web site award competition that names the most effective and best web sites on the Internet in 96 industries.

TMP received an Employment Standard of Excellence Award for web sites created for Microsoft and for Kaiser Permanente, America's leading non-profit integrated health plan, two Standard of Excellence Awards for Edward Jones, the financial-services firm; as well as three Standard of Excellence Awards for government agencies, including two for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Special Agent recruitment website and the 3rd for work done on a national security agency website.
