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.

“Megan has approached early career talent by modernizing how Shipt connects with GenZ talent. She recognizes that today's students value authenticity, purpose, and accessibility. The innovative approaches introduced resonate with these focus areas, align with our company values and overall enhances the candidate experience. Examples include student-led recruiting models which leverage past interns to serve as "ambassadors", community style outreach which prioritizes partnerships with student-led organizations, and feedback-focused improvements with intern surveys designed to capture experiences from candidate to intern and quickly iterate and improve processes. These efforts have absolutely reshaped what early talent engagement looks like - more human!”
