If you think recruiting for Generation Y – Millennials – is a challenge, wait until Generation Z (born 1998 – ongoing) steps foot into the workplace. Many recruiters may think Generation Z’s work and communication preferences will be similar to that of Millennial’s or Generation X. However, industry research paints a different picture.

While this raises a big concern among recruiters, there are measures HR teams can put into place to better prepare for the arrival of this emerging generation – now 23 million strong and growing in the U.S. It is imperative for recruiters to take a step back and gain a better understanding of what makes Generation Z unique before formulating strategies and tactics that best meet their needs.
