Attracting Millennials to Join Your Team

In our previous blog What Really Matters to Millennials Today, we discussed that more than one third of the workforce today are millennials.  Employers are now asking themselves, what can we do to appeal this demographic?

How to Attract Millennials to Your Company highlights 4 key areas to consider when focusing on these job seekers to join your team:

• Millennials Value Passion and Purpose
• Allow Autonomy With Flex Hours
• Don’t Ban Social Media
• Revise Your Recruiting Process

This list is actually not limited to just millennials. Everyone, regardless of age, wants to feel passion and purpose, desires flexibility, uses social media and has changed the way they now job search. However, it is the millennials who have driven more companies to consider the importance of addressing what they have to offer.  Are you ready to revamp and do what it takes to attract millennials?

This post, The No. 1 Thing That Causes Millennial Employees to Quit, states that more than one third of the workforce in the United States is between the ages of 18 and 34 years old. It also points out that millennials are currently the largest group of workers in America.

Dominating the recruiting pool, millennials have made it well known that if they are not happy in their current work environment, they will move on without hesitation.  So, what can companies do to meet the needs of millennials? It seems the answer is not that difficult to find – to recruit and retain these workers, employers simply need to provide them a corporate culture that provides positivity, flexibility and the latest technologies.

Companies need to take a closer look at what they offer, and make the necessary changes to not only attract, but keep, these valuable employees who are the future of their organizations.
