Attracting the Next Generation of Talent

We’ve all been told stories of late millennials and Gen Z applicants who ghost you on interviews, demand special treatment, and don’t understand how the world really works. The thing is, you’ve been sold a story, and it’s a narrative that isn’t even true. Using real data and tested strategies, we’ll discuss how to modernize your workplace, culture, hiring and retention practices to attract and hire the next generation of talent.

This session is led by James Ellis, who brings the future of effective talent acquisition to you. He combines years of experience helping everyone from Fortune 10 companies to 12-person agencies understand their own employer brands, activate them, and connect them to their investment in recruitment marketing. James’ expertise, wit, energy and humor will captivate and inspire your employment branding, recruiting and retention efforts.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Discuss why Gen Z is different (and it’s not what you think).

• Identify what Gen Z wants in its jobs.

• Effectively communicate your jobs to Gen Z so they see the value of working with you.

• Examine your jobs to increase tenure (yes, you can keep them from job-hopping).

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

HR recruiters, and organizational leaders responsible for employment branding, hiring, and retention.
