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.
“Jessica actively participates in campus and professional association events as a guest speaker, using these opportunities to elevate our brand and share her enthusiasm for the company’s mission. Her ability to communicate our values in a relatable and inspiring way has helped students see themselves as part of our organization’s future.
What truly sets her apart is the unmatched candidate experience she provides. She brings a personal touch to every interaction, ensuring candidates feel supported, valued, and excited about the opportunities ahead. Her positive and approachable personality naturally attracts students, making her a trusted and memorable representative of our team.
Her contributions have not only strengthened our presence on campus but also helped our team better understand how to engage Gen Z candidates through genuine connection, storytelling, and a candidate-first mindset.”
