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.
“Ashley has been a driving force in empowering both her recruiting team and the candidates they serve, making her an ideal nominee for the Career Catalyst Award. As the manager of our U.S. Campus Recruiting Team, Ashley has consistently championed innovative approaches to strengthen connections with Gen Z talent and foster a people-first team culture.
With eight years of experience on the campus recruiting team, Ashley empowers her team by encouraging them to pitch and implement new ideas, fostering a culture of creativity and innovation. Her leadership style promotes open dialogue and collaboration, allowing team members to take ownership of initiatives and contribute to the team's success as well as develop as individuals. This approach has led to the development of strategies that resonate with Gen Z candidates, enhancing our ability to attract and retain top talent.
A pivotal achievement in Ashley's career was her role in supporting the growth of our ambassador program during the early stages of our campus recruiting efforts. This program was designed to partner with our business leaders who are alumni of various universities, enabling us to strategize ways to become top employers on their campuses. Ashley's vision and dedication have been instrumental in building strong relationships with these leaders, positioning CGI as a preferred destination for emerging talent.
Ashley is a passionate advocate for bringing in Gen Z talent, and her expertise has made her a consultant to the business on leveraging early career talent effectively. Her insights and guidance have helped shape our recruitment strategies, ensuring they align with the values and expectations of the next generation.
Through her commitment to fostering a welcoming and innovative environment, Ashley has cultivated a people-first culture that empowers both her team and candidates to thrive. Her efforts have not only strengthened our campus recruiting program but have also positioned CGI as a leader in connecting with Gen Z talent.”
