Talent Acquisition Consultant/Early Career
Gainwell Technologies
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.
“Frances consistently challenges the status quo by introducing fresh ideas and forward-thinking strategies that deeply resonate with Gen Z students. Her commitment to delivering an exceptional candidate experience reflects her deep understanding of what this generation values.
She goes beyond traditional recruitment methods by offering personalized support throughout the hiring process, ensuring candidates feel seen, valued, and empowered. One of her standout approaches is evaluating candidates not only for the roles they apply to but also identifying opportunities that align with their transferable skills and long-term potential. This holistic view of talent allows her to match individuals with roles where they can truly thrive.
Frances also excels in sourcing talent for hard-to-fill positions that require niche skill sets. Her strategic focus and adaptability make her an invaluable asset to our recruitment efforts and a strong candidate for this recognition.”
