From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

“Maddie has challenged the status quo in early career recruiting by driving innovation and ensuring the candidate experience is both modern and meaningful, especially for Gen Z. She’s played a key role in testing and advising on tools designed to enhance both recruiter workflows and candidate interactions. For example, Maddie actively used sandbox and demo accounts for new candidate management and experience platforms, providing thoughtful feedback that helped shape implementation decisions. Her hands-on approach ensures that any new technology adopted truly meets the needs of both recruiters and students.

Beyond tools, Maddie brings a generational lens to everything she touches. As part of the planning committee with Learning & Development for Launch, she has helped design a more Gen Z-friendly experience by offering strategic input on work style preferences, communication norms, and engagement best practices. Her understanding of what this generation values - authenticity, clarity, and purpose - has led to more relevant, engaging programs that leave a lasting impression.

Maddie deserves to be nominated for the Campus Recruiting Choice Award in the Talent Innovator category because she is consistently ahead of the curve. Her ability to translate emerging trends into real-world impact is invaluable, and she continues to raise the bar for what campus recruiting can achieve.”
