Granite Earns its Fourth Consecutive Early Talent Award from Handshake

Granite (NYSE:GVA) continues to shine in talent engagement. For the fourth consecutive year, the company has secured Handshake’s Early Talent Award (ETA). This annual award celebrates the best employers for people starting their careers, and Granite is one of a select group in its industry to be recognized (out of 900,000+ employers using Handshake).

The ETAs are awarded to employers that demonstrate brand resonance, engage effectively (measured by unique clicks per distinct message recipient), actively participate in events (such as career fairs and event registrations), and maintain strong relationships with students through reciprocal messaging. These criteria underscore the evolving landscape of talent acquisition, emphasizing the importance of companies fully engaging with early talent to secure future industry leaders.

Jessica Somers, Granite’s Director of Talent Acquisition, expressed the company’s commitment to early talent. She stated, “We’re excited to celebrate this award and to continue nurturing a program that early talent finds engaging and best-in-class. This award symbolizes our commitment to those launching their careers.”

“It’s truly exciting to receive Handshake’s recognition for the fourth consecutive year,” added Tim Gruber, Granite SVP of Human Resources. “Our team’s exceptional efforts in college recruitment have created a best-in-class program, fostering a more diverse, inclusive, and talented workforce.”

Granite’s dedication to identifying and developing talent remains unwavering, and this award reaffirms its commitment to shaping the future of the construction industry. Visit Handshake for more information about the ETAs and the 2024 winners: https://joinhandshake.com/early-talent-awards/
