Handshake Recognizes RSM for Sixth Consecutive Year with Early Talent Award

CHICAGO – (March 17, 2026) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services for the middle market – has been recognized for the sixth consecutive year with an Early Talent Award (ETA) from Handshake, a leading site for college job seekers.

Now in its sixth year, the Handshake Early Talent Awards (ETAs) celebrate employers that are raising the bar for how they engage and support professionals at the start of their careers. ETA winners stand out for creating meaningful connections with emerging talent and driving strong career outcomes.

“Earning a Handshake Early Talent Award for the sixth year in a row reinforces our approach to meet early talent where they are, create opportunities that truly resonate and empower them to grow forward in their careers,” said Ty Beasley, chief talent officer with RSM US LLP. “At RSM, our people are the reason our firm and our clients continue to thrive. Their perspectives strengthen our culture, spark innovation and shape the meaningful impact we make every day.”

Among nearly 1 million employers on Handshake, only a select group of employers is recognized in each industry, making the program extremely competitive. Employers of all sizes across industries are eligible to win an ETA. Winners are selected through Handshake’s 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. RSM earned this year’s ETA by outperforming industry peers across these metrics, reinforcing the firm’s reputation as a top workplace for emerging talent and job seekers.
