About Our Judges

You’re the nominating committee and the judge. This is a crowdsourced awards and recognition program first and foremost. That means recruiters, talent acquisition professionals and HR practitioners and industry peers nominate and vote for our award winners.

In addition to our crowdsourced nominations and voting our panel of practitioner judges have deep experience in multiple HR and Recruiting disciplines to provide balance to our crowdsourced voting. We intend for our peer review to help inform better decision making. Our panel judges are shown below.
