Hello, and welcome to the dedicated website for the National Online Recruitment Awards. This year is the eleventh anniversary of the awards, and could well be the most hotly contested ever. We are grateful to everyone who takes the time to nominate their favourite websites. Last year, we had almost 28,000 nominations for 492 separate recruitment websites.
Now in its second decade, the National Online Recruitment Awards tonight demonstrated how the calibre of the sector has progressed in the past 12 months.
At the 11th annual NORAs, held in Covent Garden London, 300 members of the online recruitment community celebrated the Finalists and Winners, as nominated by jobseekers, and judged by industry experts, including Neil Morrison, Group HR Director of Random House Publishing, and Emma Mirrington, Talent Manager at Mars.

The awards ceremony for the 11th annual National Online Recruitment Awards, on Wednesday 2nd November, will take place at the exclusive West End venue, Sway London, in Covent Garden, near Holborn. This spectacularly refurbished, venue has hosted the NORAs for the past 2 years, and is perfect for our type of event. The fantastic turnout of over 350 attendees in 2010 ensured that it was the online recruitment event of the year!
As you will know, nominations closed on Friday 9th September. This year we recieved 17,717 nominations for 526 separate websites. The NORAs Judging Panel are now in conclave, working on reducing these nominations to our shortlist of Finalists for each of our twelve awards.
This year, we will also be considering the wider range of channels utilised by job boards, recruitment agencies, employers and publications in order to deliver a wider range of recruiting services more effectively to candidates. Read More
