Shaw’s Tatum Sprinkle receives recruiting choice award

RippleMatch has named Tatum Sprinkle, early careers program manager at Shaw, as a Talent Innovator and winner of its 2021 Campus Recruiting Choice Awards. The early careers recruitment company highlighted rising stars, innovators, and exceptional leaders across 15 categories and welcomed the public to vote on the winners in each category.

With more than 15,000 votes cast by the public, Sprinkle was honored with the Talent Innovator Award in the engineering, logistics, hardware and construction category. The award recognizes professionals who are reshaping campus recruitment and challenging the status quo.

“I’m honored to be recognized for this award and grateful to be a part of Shaw’s talent acquisition team,” Sprinkle said. “It’s so rewarding to be able to help guide others down a path to discovering their own success – which includes a better future for themselves and their families.”

In her role as an early careers program manager at Shaw, Sprinkle is responsible for leading a team that manages the recruitment efforts needed to build and maintain a healthy, entry-level talent pipeline. She was instrumental in establishing Shaw’s Supply Chain Development Program, an innovative program that attracts and develops top talent for the company’s Integrated Supply Chain organization. This program offers mentoring opportunities and four (six-month) rotations for prospective candidates. Thanks to Sprinkle’s leadership and collaboration across the organization, the program has been successful in streamlining and improving Shaw’s talent pipeline since its inception.
