Recruitment Marketer of the Year
Kerry Noone, CVS Health

Award recipients voiced appreciation for receiving this honor, for the recognition of the contributions that they and their teams made over the past year, and their excitement about the future of the recruiting marketing and employer branding discipline.

Matthew Biester, Manager of Enterprise HR Technology Implementation at Lockheed Martin:
"Over a year ago, Jason Boone, Rowan Toffoli, Anthony Gilbert and I set out on a journey to aid service members in their transition from active duty to civilian careers and never in my wildest dreams did I think it would have the impact we have seen since. Seeing Handshake 2 Hire go from an idea on a napkin to an award-winning program has been the highlight of my career and I am proud to have the opportunity to help those who have served our country."

Liz Gelb-O'Connor, VP, Global Employer Brand & Marketing at ADP:
"My team and I are thrilled to be recognized by our peers for our accomplishments. Over the last few years, we've worked hard to curate authentic stories that best represent ADP's employer brand on our social channels. In addition, we thank our technology leaders for trusting us to break new ground and co-create an employer brand with our technologists targeted to attract tech talent. As a result, we've launched tech.adp.com 'for technologists, by technologists.'"

Kerry Noone from CVS Health, Recruitment Marketer of the Year:
"I am so excited to be recognized as the Recruitment Marketing Leader of the year! Last year was like no other year for our country, and who would have thought "finding our new normal" would become the new buzz phrase? While some companies were slowing their hiring down, others were ramping up, and both at record speed. The best part of the terrible series of events throughout the year is the partnerships that developed and the strengthened relationships. When I reflect back on 2020, I realize how much I learned from my CVS Health colleagues and my fellow recruitment marketing professionals, and for that, I am thankful."
