In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we’re chatting with Jennifer Hillard, University Recruiting Manager at Chime. Jennifer Hillard was the first in her immediate family to graduate from college. “I know what it feels like to go to college and graduate without the support of a network that shares that experience,” she says. “That’s part of why I do what I do, to let people know that you can find support, build a network, and achieve a career — regardless of your background.” Tune in to learn Jennifer’s thoughts on prioritizing where to start as the first person in a new role, building trust with potential employees, feedback from candidates, and more!

Jennifer Hillard was the first in her immediate family to graduate from college. “I know what it feels like to go to college and graduate without the support of a network that shares that experience,” she says. “That’s part of why I do what I do, to let people know that you can find support, build a network, and achieve a career — regardless of your background.” 🎓 After college, Jennifer fell into recruiting because she liked working with people. She later volunteered to take on a university recruiting program because she was drawn to the variety of tasks involved in the work — and because of her own personal background. “University Recruiting is more than just one job, it’s a bunch of pieces that fit together year-round to make securing and starting an internship or first job a great experience for college students,” she explains. Jennifer is Chime’s first University Recruiting Manager, and helps set up Chime university students for success.
