About April Young

With 15+ years experience bridging education and career development, I'm a strategic early career program manager with a proven track record of building and scaling university recruitment initiatives that deliver measurable results. Over the past 7+ years, I've managed candidate pipelines of students annually, cultivated partnerships with 30+ universities, and developed innovative recruitment marketing campaigns that authentically connect with Gen-Z talent. My approach combines data-driven program management with strategic employer branding to create recruitment initiatives that drive engagement and results - from orchestrating comprehensive recruitment events engaging candidates annually to implementing analytics systems that improved process efficiency by 30%. I've consistently exceeded targets while championing diversity and inclusion, increasing diverse candidate pipelines by 40% through targeted partnerships and outreach programs. I'm particularly passionate about crafting compelling narratives that showcase opportunities to emerging talent while maintaining 90% stakeholder satisfaction through structured assessment frameworks. Looking to connect with organizations that share my commitment to building robust early career talent pipelines and creating meaningful pathways for the next generation of leaders.
