Experts say there’s a nice, cautious generation behind Millennials Aliah D. Wright

PHONE FIRST

“This generation has always gone to their phone first to find an answer to a question, learn a new skill, apply for a job or connect with friends,” said Dorsey, an expert on Generation Z and Millennials. “They will never remember a time when that wasn’t an option. This means that as Gen Z enters the workforce, they expect everything to be mobile first, from communication and collaboration to training, retention and engagement strategies.”

Image and Video Content

Gen Z much prefers image and video. This is important when companies think about their employment branding, recruiting and actual job applications.

What are some ways that you can adapt your recruiting strategy to attract Gen Z?

What about once they are onboard?
