From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

“Shawn has redefined early career recruiting by thoughtfully leveraging technology, including AI, to streamline processes and enhance efficiency—not just for the sake of innovation, but to genuinely improve the candidate experience. His ability to strategically integrate new tools ensures that recruiters spend less time on administrative tasks and more time engaging meaningfully with Gen Z candidates.

As a forward-thinker, Shawn quickly adapts to enterprise-wide technology changes, not only within Talent Acquisition but across the broader organization. A prime example of his impact is his work with Glean, an AI tool used by our engineering staff to enhance resource searchability. Recognizing its potential beyond engineering, Shawn championed its integration within our team, making vast corporate resources more accessible and enabling recruiters to quickly find critical information. His efforts ensure that recruiting remains agile, informed, and optimized for efficiency.

Shawn’s dedication to efficiency and human connection has transformed our approach to recruiting, ensuring that every candidate feels valued while our team works smarter. His commitment to pushing boundaries and introducing forward-looking strategies makes him a true trailblazer in the evolving world of talent acquisition.”
