Ashley Vegel
Principal Recruiter - Emerging Talent & Careers
Medtronic
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.
“Ashely Vegel is a powerhouse in the campus recruiting space. A natural talent advisor to the business and a fierce advocate for Gen Z talent. Ashley thrives in understanding business need and solutioning through strategy. Ashely is a connector and has been able to showcase Gen Z talent and skills to achieve aggressive hiring goals. Recently Ashley was able to mobilize a hiring sprint to secure graduating seniors in limited time. By using her network, school contacts, and introducing recruiting platforms like Ripplematch - she was able to over deliver for the business.”
