Recruiting Senior Consultant I

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection. 

Job Description

The Campus & Early Careers Senior Consultant role goes beyond traditional recruiting. You’ll lead mid- to high-level searches while serving as a trusted point of contact for your stakeholders—owning the full recruiting lifecycle and helping shape how we attract and engage early career talent. You’ll use your knowledge of the business, industry best practices, and talent trends to enhance recruiting strategies, improve service delivery, and solve complex hiring challenges.
In this role, you’ll also expand your impact beyond day-to-day recruiting. You’ll gain hands-on experience in project management, relationship building, event strategy, candidate engagement, and recruitment marketing—partnering with leaders, peers, and cross-functional teams to test new ideas and elevate the candidate experience. If you enjoy building meaningful relationships, creating memorable experiences, and finding innovative ways to connect talent to opportunity, this role offers strong ownership, visibility, and growth.

• Plan and execute virtual and in-person campus events, including information sessions, hiring events, workshops, and other talent engagement opportunities.
• Create immersive learning opportunities and meaningful candidate experiences that help students connect with our brand, culture, and career paths.
• Engage with talent intentionally to help identify talent signals early and build stronger, more informed pipelines before candidates reach the hiring leader stage.
• Help develop and maintain ready-now talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs.
• Partner across Talent Acquisition and the business to align recruiting strategies, share market insights, and drive strong hiring outcomes.
• Co-create engaging content such as presentations, workshops, and recruitment marketing materials that support campus outreach and candidate engagement.
• Deliver a thoughtful, high-touch candidate experience that reflects strong communication, follow-through, and attention to detail.

What You’ll Bring (Required)

• Experience in full-cycle recruiting, including sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and offer management.
• Experience building and maintaining strong external relationships, including with university partners, faculty, student organizations, or other talent communities.
• Experience planning and supporting events, programs, or candidate experiences in both virtual and in-person settings.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence, build trust, and represent the organization well with candidates and stakeholders.
• Strong execution skills with careful attention to detail, organization, and follow-through.
• Ability to work effectively across teams and adapt in a fast-changing environment.
• A change-ready mindset with the ability to think outside the box and continuously improve how work gets done.
• Experience using Workday as an applicant tracking system (ATS).
• Must live in Chicago, IL or within a commutable distance.
• Ability and willingness to travel approximately 35% for campus visits, local office meetings, and large-scale hiring events.

Preferred / Nice to Have
