From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

“Brian exemplifies what it means to be a 'Rising Star' in early career recruitment. He has made a truly meaningful impact in MongoDB's internship and new grad programming—not just through strong execution, but through the heart and intention he brings to every interaction. He consistently shows up with the best attitude, no matter how busy or complex the task, and is the kind of team player everyone wants to work with. Whether he's leading projects or stepping in to support teammates, Brian always puts the candidate experience first.

Most recently, Brian led a full revamp of our internship onboarding program, transitioning it to an entirely new system that is more structured, scalable, and engaging for candidates. His thoughtful approach ensured a smooth rollout across multiple regions and functions, resulting in a more consistent and high-quality experience for every incoming intern. From mapping out detailed workflows to coordinating cross-functional efforts, Brian managed every moving part with clarity and care.

He takes the time to think through every detail, ensuring each candidate feels supported, seen, and set up for success. Brian doesn’t just complete tasks—he elevates them. His ability to connect with others, communicate clearly, and bring structure to chaos has helped our team better engage Gen Z candidates in a way that feels both authentic and seamless.

Brian’s fresh thinking, positive energy, and unwavering dedication have elevated our early career programs and strengthened the entire team's approach to recruitment. We can’t wait to see what the future holds and the impact he will continue to have on our early career hires at MongoDB.”
