Excellence in Early Career Recruitment Strategy
Okta’s University Recruiting team focuses on what matters most: real relationships. By embedding recruiters directly into business units, the team ensures that every student interacts with an expert who knows that specific career path inside and out. This approach turns the recruiting process into a genuine two-way street. The business gains a pipeline of talent that is fully aligned for long-term success, while students get transparent, honest career advice and a clear picture of their future. It’s a strategy that prioritizes depth over breadth, ensuring that every early career hire feels seen, valued, and set up to thrive from their very first conversation.
Innovation in Action
At Okta, fluency in AI is a core expectation. The Early Career team embodies this by adopting an "AI-native" mindset in how they recruit, using and building new AI tools to strip away busywork and focus on real human connections. This isn't just about efficiency, it’s a strategic business advantage. By operating with the same speed and tech-savviness as the students they meet, the team proves that Okta is the right home for the next generation of innovators. For Okta, technology isn't about replacing the human touch, it's about clearing the way so those genuine connections can happen more often.
