From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

“Henry Lazo has consistently challenged the status quo in campus recruiting by meeting Gen Z candidates where they are—on digital platforms, in authentic ways, and with intentionality. He spearheaded the development of our early career brand voice across social media and campus events, ensuring messaging was relatable, inclusive, and reflective of the values Gen Z cares about. Henry also introduced interactive Phenom-based candidate journeys to streamline communication and created a modernized virtual experience that mirrors the transparency and speed Gen Z expects. From personalized outreach to gamified events, Henry reimagined the candidate experience to feel less corporate and more community-driven.

Henry is a true talent innovator—his work has redefined how we engage with the next generation of talent. He brings fresh ideas, human-centered technology, and creative strategies that elevate the entire candidate experience. His passion for connecting with students in a genuine way and his drive to continuously improve our early career efforts make him more than deserving of this recognition.”

“Henry has leveraged our candidate relationship management tool (CRM) using our content management system (CMS) to drive marketing and awareness to our Early Career Program. He worked with our Marketing team to create videos and content to build an Intern page for our Careers site and using our talent community to drive content and engagement across campus prospects. In addition, he is connecting with this talent firsthand on campus and keeping them engaged through our process. He does similar championing internally and bridges the connections between our business leaders and early career talent in meaningful ways.”

“Henry fuels passion into the intern recruitment by making processes more seamless through automation/ AI tools. His use of Phenom has greatly enhanced our tracking of candidates and ways we communicate with them.”
