NORA 25 Fellowship Award

The Inaugural NORA Fellowship Award on our 25th Anniversary

Honouring Lee Biggins, Founder and CEO of CV-Library

This year marks a landmark occasion for the National Online Recruitment Awards (NORA) as we celebrate their 25th anniversary—a testament to a quarter-century of innovation, progress, and dedication within the recruitment sector. To commemorate this significant milestone, the NORA Fellowship Award is being presented for the very first time, underscoring the continued evolution and ambition of our industry.

The NORA Fellowship Award holds particular significance, representing not only exceptional achievement but also a lasting impact on the standards and practices of online recruitment. In a historic first, the award is being bestowed upon an individual rather than an organisation—recognising personal leadership and influence that have shaped the sector as a whole. This inaugural honour goes to Lee Biggins, the visionary Founder and CEO of CV-Library.

Lee Biggins’ journey is a remarkable testament to entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment. Starting with a single idea and a profound understanding of the jobseeker’s perspective, Lee founded CV-Library and built it into the UK’s most successful job board—all without external investment. His dedication and resourcefulness have not only grown CV-Library into a household name but also set a powerful example for aspiring entrepreneurs across the recruitment landscape.

Throughout his career, Lee has championed the use of technology to streamline and improve recruitment experiences for both candidates and employers. Under his stewardship, CV-Library has consistently raised the bar for efficiency, accessibility, and service quality, setting new benchmarks for the entire industry. His forward-thinking approach has empowered countless individuals to find meaningful work and enabled businesses to connect with the talent they need to thrive.

The presentation of the NORA Fellowship Award to Lee Biggins on this momentous anniversary is both a celebration of past achievements and an inspiration for the future. It acknowledges not only Lee’s personal impact but also the importance of innovation, resilience, and vision in driving our sector forward. As we honour this milestone, we look ahead with renewed enthusiasm, confident that the standards set today will shape a brighter tomorrow for everyone involved in recruitment.
