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.

“Olivia Chew, ARUP’s North Geography Campus Recruiter, is a rising star whose impact on early career recruitment continues to grow in both depth and reach. Olivia has brought fresh thinking, strong execution, and creative problem-solving to her role—helping the team better understand and engage Gen Z candidates through meaningful, authentic strategies.

She has been instrumental in growing ARUP’s co-op internship program, consistently challenging herself to improve processes, expand outreach, and elevate the candidate experience. Olivia is organized, efficient, and incredibly hardworking—qualities that have made her not only a valuable team member but also an exceptional consultant to her stakeholders. She has built strong relationships with leaders across ARUP, gaining their trust and influencing them to prioritize diverse hiring practices. Her ability to advocate for inclusive recruitment while aligning with business goals has made a measurable impact.

Olivia’s leadership is marked by consistency, reliability, and a willingness to go above and beyond. She manages a growing geography with grace and precision, supports her teammates wholeheartedly, and excels in everything she does. Her dedication, professionalism, and passion for early career talent make her an indispensable part of the campus recruiting team—and a true rising star in the field.”
