Do you know how to attract the best Gen Z talent? 

Six tips to attract Gen Z talent

1 Take their concerns seriously and respond positively

Gen Z is increasingly willing to reject assignments – or even employers – that don’t align with their values. Addressing this concern can help increase employee motivation and loyalty.

2 Communicate a clear purpose

Communicate a clear organizational purpose to Gen Zers (provided it’s genuine!). Clarity around processes, responsibilities, and expectations also plays well.

3 Implement flexible working arrangements

Gen Z workers often struggle with traditional corporate working arrangements, so implement hybrid and flexible working arrangements where feasible.

4 Build trust and responsibility

Gen Zers aren’t known for respecting overly hierarchical structures. Let them manage their own time and work independently to foster trust and responsibility.

5 Provide leadership development opportunities

Gen Zers are hungry to grow, and their entrepreneurial spirit makes them keen to take on challenges and responsibility.

6 Foster creativity

This cohort tends to have a high level of creativity and the ability to teach themselves new skills; qualities that employers can harness to good effect.
