Intern Program Specialist
Insperity

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.

“Christian Henk, himself a member of Gen Z, has affected Insperity’s approach to early career recruitment and our internship programs by bringing creative vision paired with operational excellence, and a deep understanding of what motivates his generation. His efforts have not only strengthened the company’s talent pipeline but also created a more inclusive and engaging environment for young professionals.

Recognizing Gen Z’s priorities, Christian emphasizes Insperity's mission, vision, and values, along with the causes the company supports. By aligning recruitment messaging with the values important to Gen Z, Insperity is able to attract candidates who are passionate about making a positive impact

He uses data analytics to tailor strategies and build programs, ensuring they resonate with Gen Z preferences.

To ensure our interns feel supported from day one, Christian has introduced a comprehensive onboarding program featuring mentorship and a focus on continuous learning—focusing on building the skills and competencies used in our skills-based hiring process. To boost engagement, he has launched gamified workshops that foster collaboration and community.

Through these and numerous other initiatives, Christian has helped redefine what it means to recruit and retain Gen Z talent, making Insperity a standout destination for the next generation of professionals.

Why Christian? Christian has made a meaningful impact on early career recruitment by combining Gen Z insight with creative problem-solving, helping Insperity better connect with young talent through data-driven strategies, values-based messaging, and engaging, inclusive programs that set a new standard for intern and early career experiences.”
