The Pillars of an Award-Winning Program
EY was selected as a 2024 Campus Forward Award Winner for their unwavering commitment to seeking out and hiring early career talent and investments in nurturing and retaining the next generation of diverse talent. Please see below for the highlights of their approach to early career recruitment.
Multi-Faceted and Thoughtful Approach to University Recruitment
In today's competitive talent landscape, EY seeks to build strong engagement and connections with early career talent through utilizing a variety of platforms to attract and source candidates, attend market events, and prioritize candidate education. EY hosts various general information sessions, including interactive programs, to education students on EY's service lines, panels with individuals of all ranks to discuss experience at the firm, coffee chats with recruiters to speak with candidates individually, and conversations with EY leaders.
Overarching Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
EY’s comprehensive inclusive recruiting strategy is focused on differential investments in early ID programming for all students and additional investments focused on ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ+, veterans and students with disabilities. Efforts are focused on student empowerment and support through external organizations and connecting with students directly through virtual sourcing partners. EY offers innovative programming such as Women in Audit and Expedition EY, and contributes to positive systemic change by working with educational institutions through the EY Foundation.
Impactful Internship Program
EY has created a meaningful 5+ week Exceptional Experience program for interns across service lines. Interns join client service teams to work on a diverse slate of projects, participate in social events with their fellow interns, and have frequent opportunities to hear from leaders at the firm about a variety of today's trending topics, including AI. EY's early career start internship, known as Launch, is an immersive, rotational experience that helps to build the foundation of a career in professional services. The internship is engaging, inspiring, and an opportunity to equip the next generation of leaders.
