NORA Academy Award

The NORA Academy Award

As they were originally conceived, the NORAs are all about reflecting the views on the online recruitment sector from the perspective of jobseekers. In 2014, for the first time, we introduced a new award, where members of our new academy voted for the recruitment website which they believed best represented the industry in that year. Only websites which had already been nominated by the public each year, and shortlisted as Finalists, can be contenders for this award, but it will ultimately be voted for by their peers in the NORA Academy.

There are now 487 company members of the NORA Academy which grants them a:

1. Unique ability to vote for an industry peer award at The NORAs.
2. All members can vote once for their top three Finalists from this year’s NORAs, regardless of their industry prominence or number of times they have succeeded at the NORAs.
3. Each company member will choose their representative (ideally at director level) – who will cast their vote. This individual website representative can be changed by the website or company at any time.
4. Members cannot vote for their own website
5. All votes will be secret, but subject to review by the NORA Academy Board.  Our intention is to enable the fairest possible means of identifying a deserving winner.

The shortlist of three Finalists for the Academy Award will be announced on our website on Tuesday 3rd November.

We would like to restate that the NORA Academy is NOT be any kind of trade body, collective bargaining body, or training institute. Whilst the NORAs may promote higher standards in online recruitment, the NORA Academy is not a lobbying body.
