Jessica Flaherty
Senior Associate Talent Acquisition
Novo Nordisk
3rd Place Winner of 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 Winner Stands Out
To be considered for the CRCAs, individuals had to be nominated by a peer, manager, colleague, or direct report. These quotes were shared by the people who nominated this person for recognition, highlighting the impact and excellence they’ve demonstrated.
“Jessica's impact to early career recruitment comes with bringing new ideas, continually doing check ins with students and managers, and ensures that students feel at home at Novo Nordisk. The recruitment process can be daunting, but Jessica is dedicated to making it a positive and meaningful experience for candidates. She ensures that they feel heard, appreciated, and get feedback on their application and interview. Her partnership building within the communities and our managers allows her to have success in building strong and meaningful programs. Jessica is invested in the outcomes of early talent participants and programs!”
“Jess gives it her all in supporting The Early Talent Development Team ensuring we have a fair and competitive hiring process for all of our student programs (internship, student assistant, and fellowship). Jess has consistently improved and shown her stakeholder management skills as she's provided clear communication throughout the hiring process for all programs throughout our different locations, making sure to always answer questions and making herself available to problem solve.”
