Maggie Atherstone
Talent Acquisition Specialist
HashiCorp
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.
“Maggie has made a big difference in early career recruiting by bringing new ideas and improving how the team connects with Gen Z candidates. She's created clear intern onboarding processes and launched trainings to set expectations and boost participation. Maggie also built easy-to-use tracking tools that help the team stay organized and make informed decisions. On the marketing side, she uses email campaigns to keep future interns engaged and reduce drop-offs. Her creative thinking and smart use of data have made recruiting smoother, more personal, and more effective for everyone involved.”
