Nominated For: The Talent Innovator Award

This award recognizes the experienced early career professionals who are reimagining how companies connect with Gen Z talent. They challenge traditional thinking by introducing new strategies, platforms, and touchpoints to meet students where they’re at. Whether through technology, storytelling, or community-building, they’re closing the gap between how recruiting has always been done—and how it needs to evolve.

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.

“Lili has transformed early career recruiting by introducing creative, Gen Z–focused strategies that challenge the status quo. She led the creation of engaging content and launched an "Expand Your Brand" training to enhance the intern experience. In recruiting, she implemented an interview tool to the process to streamline assessments and championed diversity through partnerships like Afrotech. With high conversion rates and standout sourcing results, Lili continues to modernize recruitment with authenticity, tech-savvy tools, and a strong focus on inclusion.”
