Emily Chilton
University Recruiter
SRS Distribution Inc.
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.
“Emily has made a meaningful impact in early career recruitment by keeping the human element at the core of everything she does. She brings a fresh perspective on how to genuinely connect with Gen Z candidates, ensuring that our outreach feels personal, authentic, and values-driven. Emily is deeply committed to engaging with every candidate in a timely, thoughtful manner—whether it's a quick check-in, a follow-up after an interview, or simply making herself available to answer questions. This consistent, personal touch has built trust with candidates and significantly elevated our reputation as an employer that genuinely cares. Her approach combines empathy with strong execution, helping us not only connect with top talent but also create an experience that leaves a lasting impression.”
