Generation C, also known as the Connected Generation, refer to the group of people who have grown up with technology and are always connected to it. 

If you are looking at recruiting Generation Z, how can you make sure you are attracting them into your organisation? 

 

Generation Z are the working generation born between 1996 and 2010, the most defining trait about them is that they are Tech Natives, meaning they were born with technology, it is part of their lives and always has been. There are also some other key things about Generation Z that are important to consider whilst writing your job adverts and during the recruitment process to ensure you are really appealing to them: 

 

 

We have all felt it over the last fourteen months. No one can look too far into the future and know what will be happening next with the pandemic. Yet for many of us, change does not sit comfortably. Most candidates, if they are looking for their next position will be looking for a company that is going to offer them stability. Make sure that your promotional literature reflects this – talk about your heritage and your plans for the future. 

 

This is the number one requirement for candidates. They don’t necessarily want to work from home permanently or full time, but they do want to be offered flexibility within the workplace. Look at your policies around home working. What can you offer candidates – more flexible hours? a hybrid model of working from home as well as the office? You will lose out on candidates if you are still adopting a rigid 9 – 5, office working environment. If you are being flexible – shout about it! Candidates want to know – it will help to make their decision to apply to you easier.
