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.

“Katarina consistently demonstrates exceptional skills, dedication, and a proactive approach that sets her apart as a rising star.

Since entering the early career recruiting space, Katarina has shown an impressive ability to quickly grasp the intricacies of our recruitment processes and has made significant contributions to enhancing our talent acquisition strategies. Her keen eye for identifying top talent and her meticulous attention to detail have been instrumental in filling critical early career roles.

One of Katarina's standout qualities is her innovative mindset. She has introduced creative sourcing techniques and has been at the forefront of leveraging new technologies and platforms to expand our candidate pool. Her efforts have not only improved the efficiency of our recruitment process but have also ensured that we attract a diverse range of top-tier talent.

Katarina also possesses excellent interpersonal skills. She has built strong relationships with hiring managers, candidates, and team members alike, fostering a collaborative and positive work environment. Her ability to communicate effectively and provide valuable insights has earned her the trust and respect of everyone she works with.

Katarina consistently goes above and beyond, taking on additional responsibilities and always delivering exceptional results. Her passion for talent acquisition and unwavering commitment to excellence make her an invaluable asset to the Zurich North America team.”
