Nominated For: The Talent Innovator Award

This award recognizes the experienced early career professionals who are reimagining how companies connect with Gen Z talent. They challenge traditional thinking by introducing new strategies, platforms, and touchpoints to meet students where they’re at. Whether through technology, storytelling, or community-building, they’re closing the gap between how recruiting has always been done—and how it needs to evolve.

From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

To be considered for the CRCAs, individuals had to be nominated by a peer, manager, colleague, or direct report. This quote was shared by the person who nominated this person for recognition, highlighting the impact and excellence they’ve demonstrated.

“I am proud to nominate Amanda Dodds for the Talent Innovator Award. Amanda plays a critical role in supporting our sales functional track across multiple U.S. geographies and, over the past two years, has taken on the additional challenge of leading sales hiring efforts in Puerto Rico—a newer and strategically important region for us.

Amanda has gone above and beyond in this role, developing a creative and tailored recruitment strategy that stands apart from her approaches in other regions. She has leveraged data from multiple sources to enhance the candidate experience, consistently earning top-tier candidate satisfaction scores across our team.

Her innovative mindset shines through in her efforts to improve our onboarding and pre-employment processes, ensuring a smoother and more engaging journey for new hires. Amanda has also been instrumental in supporting one of our most complex sales programs, where she has built strong relationships with hiring teams and introduced impactful strategies such as interview committees and strategic candidate placements.

Amanda’s dedication, creativity, and strategic thinking have made a significant impact on our talent acquisition efforts. Thank you, Amanda, for your outstanding contributions and for continuously raising the bar!”
