If you miss out on this year’s TalentEgg Awards, the yolk’s on you!
This annual event is one of the best ways to get a 360-degree view of campus recruitment’s top trends. Plus, it’s a ton of fun! But don’t take our word for it – attendees were tweeting away during last year’s conference and they had a lot to say.
It’s that time of year again! The applications for the 2017 TalentEgg Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards are officially open!
The #TEAwards are an opportunity for top employers to be recognized for their egg-ceptional work, as well as gather valuable feedback from students and recent graduates on their campus recruitment initiatives.
We know you’re ready to get cracking on those submissions, but before you do, we wanted to share a few of our top tips and tricks for crafting an award-winning application.
On May 14th, 2015, campus recruitment professionals from across Canada gathered in Toronto to celebrate the best in the industry.
After months of anticipation, the winners of the 2015 National Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards were unveiled.
Submissions for the prestigious awards opened in December 2014, and attracted submissions from leading Canadian employers, organizations, and career centres.
To evaluate the entries, TalentEgg called on the expertise of top students across Canada. These standout individuals – Student Judges – were given the opportunity to rate and provide in-depth feedback on career development initiatives, campus recruitment strategies, and more.
“I loved seeing innovative ideas that set employers apart,” says Victoria Miller, a TalentEgg student judge. “There are some definite best practices in campus recruiting which were great to see across the board, but it was exciting to see when an organization injected something new and groundbreaking into the mix.”
The feedback from this year’s judges has been featured in the 2015 Guide of Canadian Campus Recruitment – a valuable resource that highlights the observations of TalentEgg’s judging panel, and provides campus employers fresh perspectives on the most current trends in the industry. This resource will also be published on TalentEgg’s award-winning resource hub and community for campus recruiters and HR professionals.
Attendees also had the opportunity to learn from other campus recruiters who provided their insights on campus recruitment and best practices for connecting with millennials. Among these speakers was Olympic athlete Marnie McBean, O.C. and a three-time gold medallist. Her keynote speech, “To Finish Happy – You Have To Start Happy,” was a fantastic way to lead into the Awards ceremony.
The 2015 National Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards and Conference saw a lot of dedication and enthusiasm for recruiting the best and the brightest of the millennial generation. TalentEgg extends a sincere thanks to all the professionals that participated in this event, and a special congratulations to the winners of the TalentEgg awards.

Over the last few years, the TalentEgg team has been privileged to host and celebrate the efforts of employers and their campus recruitment efforts across Canada. And this year was no exception.
The applications that were submitted over the past few months were absolutely top notch – and after much deliberation from our prestigious student judges, we are excited to announce the finalists for the 2015 TalentEgg National Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards!
This year, for the category Campus Recruiting Program of the Year, there were two programs that made an exceptionally strong impression with our Student Judging Panel. As such, instead of announcing finalists in this category, we will be announcing these two employers as winners during the Awards event.*
We invite you and your team to join us at the TalentEgg National Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards and Conference, where we will be sharing feedback from our student judges, and discussing trends and insights on campus recruitment for the upcoming year. Plus, we have a fantastic lineup of speakers, including our very own Lauren Friese!
And now, without further delay, we’re pleased to present our finalists!
Please note: Finalists are listed alphabetically.
Thanks again to all the employers who participated this year. We hope to see you at the awards!
