Why are young graduates so valuable for one’s clients? It can be seen that Gen Z job seekers are highly motivated when it comes to learning and development. Young adults have a great knowledge on the latest digital and technological developments, especially in the area of social media. Let us jump into some great tips in order to attract young graduates.

1. USE SOCIAL MEDIA AS A PLATFORM OF RECRUITMENT

      It can be seen that some stereotypes are true, Gen Z does indeed spend more time on social media than any other generation. Get up-to-speed and think of ways in which you can integrate your recruitment process with socials. Social media is a strong tool for discovery and contact.

2. INTERSHIP SCHEME

This represents a symbiotic relationship between talent-hungry companies willing to take on a little bit of inexperience and universities wanting to give their students an introduction to the workplace. This also helps the client offer lower salaries or none at all, thus balancing out the inexperience. These schemes have a powerful effect on hiring, as a student is more likely to take on a full-time position with a company they have interned at post-graduation.

3. GAMIFICATION

Companies need to devise hiring strategies for those born into the digitalized world. Many companies conduct inter-university competitions, this helps create brand awareness in students. It also allows companies to establish a relationship between brands and potential employees, this is all before the actual opportunity of employment is discussed.

4. SPEED UP YOUR HIRING PROCESS

If a company does not act quickly, your applicants may abandon your hiring process. Hence, it is a good idea to evaluate the reasons why your hiring process is slow and try to resolve it in a short period of time.
