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.
“This person has empowered their recruiting team and candidates by using innovative strategies and creating a supportive environment. They have introduced new tools to make the recruitment process smoother and more efficient. By focusing on continuous learning, they keep their team updated with the latest trends.
To connect with Gen Z talent, they use social media and digital platforms effectively, creating content that appeals to this group. They emphasize authenticity and transparency, building trust with young candidates.
Their commitment to an inclusive, innovative, and people-first culture is clear. They promote diversity and inclusion, making sure everyone feels valued. Their leadership encourages open communication and collaboration, creating a dynamic workplace.
This person deserves the Campus Recruiting Choice Award in the Career Catalyst category because they inspire and lead their team with dedication. Their innovative approach and focus on positive culture have made a significant impact.”
