A Note from the Editor
Exciting news! The finalists of the 16th NORAs have been announced. 600 separate websites were nominated, this has now been reduced down to five per category and the judging panel are assessing all the finalists. The winners will be revealed at the (always glitzy and glamorous) awards event on Wednesday 16th November, in London.

There is now only three days to go until our unique Recruitment Technology showcase event, this Thursday. Don't forget to sign up here. This article, What Should You Automate in Your Recruitment Process?, by Tim Sackett is an excellent read whether you are coming on Thursday or not but if you are, it's a great way to get your head in to the topic and help with your decision making process.

We came across the white paper, When Are Candidates Most Likely to Apply for Jobs?, from Firefish this week. It looks at their research done into the best times to publish your job adverts if you want to increase engagement. You can find out more and download your free copy here.
