Gen Z is the newest cohort to join the working ranks. 

Born between 1997 and 2012, this generation is just graduating and is already changing the way we hire.

Capturing the attention of this workforce demands a fresh approach that aligns with their digital-native mindset and preference for authentic, interactive experiences. 

Here’s what recruiters need to do to hire these young minds.

1. Be authentic & reliable

Gen Z candidates value authenticity in their interactions with employers. 

To establish a genuine connection, showcase your company culture, values, and employee experiences through authentic storytelling

Create a sense of ownership and belonging that resonates deeply with Gen Z’s desire for engagement and impact.

3. Personalize your approach

Highlight any personalized career development opportunities, flexible work arrangements, and meaningful experiences offered by the company that align with their interests and goals. 

By demonstrating a genuine interest in their personal and professional growth, you can more effectively attract and retain top Gen Z talent.

4. Create engaging recruitment content

Use a mix of formats such as blog posts, videos, infographics, and social media posts to showcase your employer brand, company culture, and career opportunities. 

Encourage employees to share their experiences and insights on social media platforms, further amplifying your recruitment efforts.

You can also utilize short-form videos on your socials or promote your brand through collaborations.

5. Embrace digital communication channels

Gen Z candidates are accustomed to communicating through digital channels such as social media, text messaging apps, and video conferencing

Incorporate these channels into your recruitment process to streamline communication and make it more convenient for candidates to engage with your company.
