Congratulations to the finalists of the 2020 TalentEgg National Recruitment Excellence Awards and Conference! We are so egg-cited to celebrate you and announce the winners at our first ever VIRTUAL Awards and Conference on July 8, 2020. 

The TalentEgg Awards applications are evaluated by a team of top student judges from across Canada, who give a student perspective and first-hand feedback on career development programs and employer branding and recruitment strategies. Our panel of student judges had their work cut out for them this year. With so many amazing applications, it was a close race!

Please join us at this year’s Awards and Conference to celebrate the winners, and tune-in to insightful panels with our egg-cellent lineup of expert speakers from the recruitment and career development space. We will be sharing critical insights from our COVID-19 Student, New Grad and Early Career Survey conducted this spring to understand how the pandemic is impacting Canada’s young job seekers and influencing employers’ future recruitment strategies. We will explore virtual tools and practices to help employers continue to engage and attract top candidates in the “new normal” of remote recruiting. We will also share best practices and new solutions for welcoming back employees to the workplace and students to campus — safely — in the months to come!  

Don’t miss out! Registration is open until July 7th, 2020 at 11:59 pm EST. 

Now, what you’ve really been waiting for: your 2020 Finalists!
