Darlene Ramos
Talent Acquisition Lead
PMG
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.
“Darlene Ramos takes the time to deeply understand the roles she's hiring for, enabling her to authentically connect with GenZ talent in ways that resonate. At PMG, where high application volume and a multi-step hiring process could easily feel impersonal, Darlene introduced scalable solutions that prioritize transparency and engagement - like virtual information sessions that demystify PMG's hiring process and consistent messages to keep candidates informed and valued throughout their hiring process. She also embraces innovation, using tools like ChatGPT and AI features in her ATS to improve sourcing and outreach. Whether she's refining messaging or piloting new tech, Darlene continually seeks creative, people-focused ways to elevate the candidate experience.”
