A Note from the Editor
We are very excited to announce our judging panel for our Recruitment Blog of the Year awards. The panel includes UK Recruiter regulars Alan Whitford, Andy Headworth and Stephen O'Donnell as well as Simon Kent, Ben Smith and Martin Bramall. And, of course, Louise and myself! You can find out all about the judges and find out all the details of the awards in Louise's Blog.

Also this week, the world of recruitment sees the the 15th annual National Online Recruitment Awards. The event is a celebration of excellence in the UK online recruitment sector, and is also a fantastic networking opportunity amongst your industry peers. You can book tickets for the event here.

Lastly, just for a laugh, I thought I'd share these tweets about interviews that gave me a giggle this week.
