Propel Impact’s Post

Fool·ish·ness (noun) /ˈfo͞oliSHnəs/ Lack of good sense or judgment; stupidity. Example: A multi-million dollar company strives to hire qualified staff. They insist on MBAs for leaders. The technical staff needs to have completed an IT bachelors degree and earned advanced certifications. Both must have significant and relevant work experience. Any minor changes in the business strategic direction or supporting technical systems involve months of planning meetings, comprehensive project management, and well planned back-out contingency plans for the migration. But when required to put together a Business Continuity Plan and IT Disaster Recovery Plan and strategies, where all departments will be displaced with zero advanced notice and no ability to fail-back, they hire a low-low bid H-1B staffed startup company or the vice president’s nephew as a summer intern who just complete his freshman year in business studies at the local community college. His last job involved saying the words, “Would you like fries with that?” 😖

How Evercore Used Innovative Solutions to Attract Early Talent 🎯 Many of our partners look to us to help them by delivering memorable experiences that sets them apart from the competition. This is exactly what Evercore did when they faced challenges in attracting and upskilling candidates from a wider range of backgrounds. They sought a practical approach to make students remember their brand but also provide a meaningful educational experience. Our solution? ✅ Collaborated with their campus recruitment team to develop a scalable, virtual solution for long-term recruitment needs and demographic targets. ✅ Created three attraction events introducing M&A concepts and building knowledge incrementally. ✅ Delivered events where students acted as Junior Analysts, culminating in individual performance reports for the hiring team. ✅ Helped Evercore scale their attraction capabilities and expand their reach.
