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.

“As an advocate for early career talent, Emilee is committed to creating a positive and people-centric candidate experience. She recognizes that Gen Z values authenticity and transparency—principles that guide both her approach and the culture at Centric Brands. Whether she’s challenging bias in the interview process or ensuring every candidate receives timely communication, Emilee is dedicated to making candidates feel respected, supported, and informed at every stage. She leads with empathy and encourages individuals to bring their authentic selves to each interaction. Emilee values feedback and, when appropriate, provides constructive guidance to help early career professionals grow and prepare for future opportunities. Her goal is to ensure every candidate walks away with a meaningful experience—both with her personally and with Centric Brands.”
