FINALISTS 2025

We have been absolutely delighted with both the volume and calibre of public nominations this year, alongside registrations from recruitment platforms themselves. Our NORAs judges have now assessed all nominated recruitment websites, and determined who our Finalists are.

The Winners of the 25th annual SmartRecruiters National Online Recruitment Awards will be announced at our live awards event in London, on Thursday 13th November.

Our separate final judging panel will now assess all Finalists from a job seeker’s perspective, and select our 2025 Winners.

As all current and former Finalists get to vote for our Academy Award, can I ask representatives of all organisations to contact us directly on academy@norauk.com or call 0141 637 9000.

Finalists can also see more details at our Finalists FAQ section.

And here is the full list of our Finalists.
