Brex was selected as a 2023 Campus Forward Award Winner for their unwavering commitment to seeking out and hiring early career talent, their emphasis on diversity & inclusion, and investments in nurturing and retaining the next generation of talent. Please see below for the highlights of their approach to early career recruitment.
Demonstrated Investment in Early Career Hiring
Brex believes that investing in the next generation of talent is essential to building the world-class products it provides today and in the future. That's why Brex is growing its program globally to reflect the same reach that its product has around the world today. Brex is excited to continue to provide the best experience it can to early career talent to further emphasize the impact they have on the company.
Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruitment
Brex continues to invest heavily in building strategic partnerships with students before, during, and after the interview process. This means that Brex is nurturing deep relationships with schools, organizations, and individuals through tech talks, info sessions, one-on-one interview help, and career advice. Brex also believes in providing a full experience to its students with sessions in mental health, imposter syndrome, and advocating for their growth
Overarching Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
Brex is proud to have interns and new grads that come from all around the world, with different backgrounds and experiences. Within the company, Brex works closely with Employee Resource Groups to connect with diverse teams and to find students globally. Externally, Brex fosters long-lasting relationships with universities, bootcamps, and nonprofit organizations to invest in the future of early career talent.
Impactful Internship Program
At Brex, interns are embedded into everything the company does from day one. From onboarding with industry hires to impactful projects, interns work alongside their mentors to contribute meaningful progress. On top of all this, interns are given the full visibility to business growth/ financials to truly feel like they are employees of the company. During the internship, students have the opportunity to do more than just their projects. During their 12 weeks at Brex, students embark on not only building their technical breadth, but other aspects of their life as well. They participate in community projects, bi-weekly brunch sessions, intimate fireside chats with leaders, and career growth sessions as well. With all of this, Brex is proud to bring back over 90% of interns next year as full-time employees.
Growth and Development of the Next Generation of Talent
Brex has a robust one-year program to make sure that all new full-time hires feel supported from day one. Each new hire goes through two weeks of onboarding to cover company overview all the way into the details of their team's work and journey. Brex also provides early career sessions monthly on various topics (ex. career ladder insights, imposter syndrome, and leadership growth) with tenured employees and leaders at Brex to help develop new hires personally and professionally. New hires also get to participate in fun events such as offsites, virtual happy hours, cooking classes, and other social events so that they can foster lasting friendships as well.
