ABOUT

The National Online Recruitment Awards are entirely dedicated to the continual improvement and evolution of the Candidate-Experience.
Throughout the past 26 years we have seen the focus of progressive employers, recruitment firms and job boards change to recognise that. The NORAs views the recruitment sector from the perspective of the jobseeker, and aims to shine a light on the very best examples of excellence in our industry.

As the definitive measure of the standards now expected by candidates, we expect our Finalists and Winners will continually be inspired to strive for better.

The 26th annual NORAs nominations open on 10th August, our Finalists will be revealed on 2nd October, and our in-person awards event will be held in London on Wednesday 18th November. Please keep up to date with announcements and information via our X, our blog, as well as here on our official site.
