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.

“Jackie Nguyen, ARUP’s South Geography Campus Recruiter, is a powerhouse in early career recruitment and a true rising star. Working closely with the Regional Campus Lead, Jackie has taken on leadership roles that go far beyond her title—spearheading key initiatives, mentoring her peers, and consistently pushing the boundaries.

Jackie has led the AMR region’s compensation efforts, partnering with the compensation team to research, strategize, and advocate for fair and equitable pay for early career talent. Her work has helped shape a more transparent and competitive compensation structure that reflects ARUP’s values. She also played a critical role in the demand planning process, gathering and organizing intern and graduate headcount needs for upcoming recruitment cycles—ensuring the team is aligned and prepared for future hiring seasons.

Her team members look up to her as a mentor and a source of strength. Jackie is known for her determination, her drive to grow and develop, and her unwavering support for those around her. She supports her team and her key stakeholders effectively, collaborates with purpose, and executes with excellence establishing trust and commitment. Jackie has already made a tremendous impact at ARUP, and her future in campus recruiting is incredibly bright..”
