2006 ER Recruiter of the Year - Dan Hilbert, Valero Energy

Dan Hilbert

I was thrilled to have an opportunity to spend an hour one-on-one with the ER Recruiter of the Year Dan Hilbert in San Diego. Dan is Employment Manager for Valero Energy.

Here's what Dr. John Sullivan wrote about Dan in the ER Exchange Forum: "What Dan Hilbert and his team at Valero Energy have accomplished will forever change the strategic options that recruiting directors must consider. They have developed what may be the world's most strategic staffing approach, one that emphasizes using metrics to refine "talent pipelines" to produce a talent supply chain."

About the ER Excellence Awards:
Recognizing excellence in the corporate recruiting function, ER Excellence Awards were given out in eight categories, ranging from Best Employer Brand to Most Innovative Use of Recruitment Technology.

Valero Energy was the big winner of the evening; the company garnered a total of three awards, including the prestigious Recruiter of the Year, awarded to Valero's employment manager, Dan Hilbert. Valero also won the Most Innovative Recruiting Process or Structure and Most Effective Use of Staffing Metrics.

"It was an honor for me to be recognized here tonight by ERE," said Hilbert. "I can't claim all the credit for the success of my recruiting team at Valero, but it truly moved me to receive such a prestigious award in front of so many talent leaders and leading employers."

Other awards presented at the evening ceremony went to Deloitte (for Best Corporate Careers Website), Quicken Loans (for Most Innovative Employee Referral Program), PacifiCare Health Systems (for Best Employer Brand), Whirlpool Corporation (for Best College Recruiting Program), and Hewlett Packard (for Most Strategic Use of Recruitment Technology).

"Our goal is to recognize how closely recruiting and talent management is tied to business results," said David Manaster, president and founder of the Electronic Recruiting Exchange, which organized the awards program. "All the companies here today are the cream of the crop when it comes to recruiting, and it's no surprise they are also some of the most successful companies in the world."
