Announcing the Winners of TalentEgg’s 2017 Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards

Since 2012, we here at TalentEgg have hosted the annual Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards and Conference and each year we are continually amazed by the insights of our noted panelists, the energy of our participants, and the all around quality of the content being shared!

For those of you that came out to the Design Exchange May 18th, we’re sure you’ll agree that this year was certainly no eggs-ception! In fact, it may just be our best yet (if we do say so ourselves).

Every spring, we gather professionals from across Canada to recognize and honour the many strengths these top employers possess when it comes to recruitment practices and building authentic, meaningful relationships with students and grads. With a dozen awards being given out this year, there is clearly much to celebrate!

Adding to our established categories such as “Best Campus Career Website” and “Best Internship/Co-op Program,” we were especially excited to introduce two new categories to the awards portion of the day, including our “Best Campus Ambassador Program,” which recognizes exceptional employers whose ambassador programs are facilitating key dialogues between students and employers, and our “Special Award for Social Responsibility in Recruiting,” which honors our most socially conscious organizations, whose hiring practices are committed to incorporating policies of inclusion, sustainability, community outreach, accessibility, diversity and more.

In addition to these exciting new introductions to our awards line-up, we were also honoured to welcome the esteemed Brian Fetherstonhaugh, whose keynote address, “How to Become a Magnetic Talent Enterprise” included some truly compelling insights and observations.

After an exceptional kick-off, our conference continued with some key industry insights and spirited discussions into how employers may best connect with today’s students and recent grads. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to those who participated, and our congratulations to this year’s award nominees. You’re all winners to us!
