The Panel of Judges for the 2010 National Online Recruitment Awards has now been finalised. As usual they will, of course, have extensive experience of the current online recruitment sector. They are selected on the basis of this knowledge, and have no vested interested in the nominated websites. A separate consulting panel of industry experts are involved in producing the shortlist of Finalist sites, from the thousands of nominations we receive via NORAuk.com.

Shortlisting Panel
In advance of the judging stage, we have a Selection Panel of industry experts, who will assess all websites nominated by jobseekers, and produce our shortlist of Finalists. To ensure transparency in the awards process, this group are quite separate from our Judging Panel, but just as vital to the NORAs.
The criteria to be used in judging will include:
1. Ease of use, design, layout & speed.
2. Volume of available vacancies.
3. Volume of claimed visitors, where applicable.
4. Available facilities for jobseekers. This will include the availability of mobile websites and applications, and integration with social media channels.
5. Prominence in targeted market.
Sites will be judged from the point of view of a jobseeker, and what benefits candidates best.
Shortlisted sites are entitled to display this logo on their site and literature.
The winners in each category are entitled to display this logo on their site and literature.
