Celine Hamilton
Senior Campus Recruiter
CGI

Nominated For: The Rising Star Award

This award recognizes the early-career recruitment professionals who are already driving impact and pushing the industry forward, despite being newer to the university recruitment space. With fresh perspectives and a finger on the pulse of Gen Z, they’re helping their teams better understand and engage today’s candidates. Whether through standout events, stronger messaging, or elevating candidate experience, these individuals are shaping the future of recruitment from day one.

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.

“Celine Hamilton may be early in her career, but she is already making a major impact in the world of campus recruiting. With just three years at CGI, Celine has established herself as a key member of the campus recruiting team—bringing fresh energy, a deep understanding of Gen Z candidates, and an unmatched commitment to her work.
Celine leads CGI Federal’s intern program, where she plays a central role in creating a meaningful, engaging experience for interns from day one. From onboarding and programming to mentorship and conversion, she ensures each participant feels supported and set up for success. Her passion for candidate care is evident in everything she does—whether she’s guiding a student through their first interview or checking in on a new hire’s transition to full-time work.
What sets Celine apart is her proactive, all-in mindset. She consistently raises her hand to support new initiatives, internal projects, and cross-team efforts—bringing positivity, accountability, and creative thinking to every challenge. Her finger is firmly on the pulse of what today’s students value, and she’s quick to suggest ways to tailor messaging, improve events, or elevate the overall candidate experience.
Celine doesn’t just show up—she shows up with purpose, insight, and heart. She’s helping to shape not only CGI’s early talent strategy but also the future of recruiting itself. With her drive, empathy, and Gen Z perspective, Celine is the definition of a Rising Star.”
