London, UK – 29 September – The National Online Recruitment Awards (NORAs) announced today that SmartRecruiters, the global leader in enterprise recruitment software, will be the headlining  sponsor of the 21st annual NORAs in London.

The NORAs was founded by Stephen O’Donnell in 2001 to shine a light on the very best examples of recruiting excellence from employers, recruitment firms, publications, and job boards. The organization receives over 25,000 nominations from the public each year. A panel of highly qualified judges assesses all contenders from the perspective of jobseekers.

“We are delighted to have SmartRecruiters as our partners for the 21st annual National Online Recruitment Awards. The NORAs has always been about making hiring better, for candidates, hiring managers, and recruiters.

Given his outstanding international career in recruitment, we are honoured to have Jerome Ternynck, Founder and CEO of SmartRecruiters, join us on our Judging Panel.”

For 21 years, the focus of progressive employers, recruitment firms, and job boards has changed to recognise that. The NORAs view the recruitment sector from the perspective of the job seeker, aiming to shine a light on the very best examples of excellence in the industry. 

“Our main goal is to make hiring easy. We strive to help businesses get the talent they need to succeed and to help people find a job they love,” said Jerome Ternynck, 

Founder and CEO at SmartRecruiters. “We believe that the candidate experience is a key component of any organisation’s Hiring Success journey. I am thrilled to be part of the judging panel to recognise leaders in Candidate Experience and in Hiring Success.”
