Handshake Recognizes RSM with Early Talent Award for Empowering Early Careers

2024 marks the fourth consecutive year RSM is recognized

CHICAGO – (March 13, 2024) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services for the middle market – was recently recognized with an Early Talent Award (ETA) from Handshake, the No. 1 college-to-career network in the U.S. RSM is among an elite group of organizations receiving this recognition for the fourth time since the awards began in 2021.

Handshake works with more than 1,500 colleges and institutions, has more than 15 million student users and works with more than 900,000 employers to achieve its mission of giving all students the chance to build the career they want, no matter where they are from or what school they attend.

Awarded annually and now in their fourth year, the Handshake ETAs celebrate the best employers for people starting their careers. Since there is only a select group of employers recognized in each industry—among 900,000+ on Handshake—the program is extremely competitive. ETA winners shine by effectively using Handshake to drive positive career outcomes and stand out with emerging talent. See the full list of 2024 winners on the Early Talent Awards website on/after March 13.

Employers of all sizes across industries are eligible to win an ETA. To identify winners, Handshake follows a structured methodology that measures performance in four areas that deliver great outcomes for employers and early career jobseekers: brand resonance, engagement, event participation and relationships. According to Handshake, RSM won an ETA this year because the firm outperformed its industry peers across these metrics, making RSM a top workplace for people starting their careers.

“At RSM, we understand the importance of fostering an inclusive workplace culture where everyone’s contributions and experiences are recognized and valued,” said Ty Beasley, chief talent officer with RSM US LLP. “We are honored to be recognized for the fourth consecutive year with Handshake’s Early Talent Award, for our dedication to providing our people with meaningful opportunities to succeed while supporting our clients, our communities and one another. RSM is an exciting place to work – regardless of where you are in your career trajectory. We are pleased to be recognized for empowering careers.”
