Gen Z Candidates Are Confident About Finding a Good Job or Internship This Fall — But Some More Than Others
While late 2021 and the start of 2022 saw a candidate-driven market, recent layoffs and an economic cool down could spell trouble for candidates this recruiting season. However, when we asked students in August about their internship and job searches heading into the fall, it was clear that an uncertain future had little effect on their confidence in finding a good position this year. But some are more confident than others.
What Female Gen Z Candidates Want to See in Your Company's DE&I Efforts
Gen Z cares about what your organization is doing to help build a more inclusive workforce. In fact, we found that three quarters of early career talent would reconsider applying to a role at a company if they were not satisfied with its DE&I efforts. When broken down by gender, it’s clear that women are even more concerned with their future employer's DE&I efforts, with 85% of female internship and entry-level candidates agreeing with this sentiment (compared to 68% of men). With that in mind, we sought to discover what exactly female candidates are considering when evaluating your DE&I efforts to help you better understand where their values lie.

6 Ways to Supercharge Your Early Career Recruiting This Fall
The talent acquisition community has come a long way in just the past few years. In fall 2020, recruiters' main focus was how they could continue to connect with candidates as campuses remained closed, and travel restricted. One year later, talent teams found themselves trying to strike the right balance between in-person and virtual recruiting, and to meet the needs of a new generation of workers whose values have been reshaped by a global health crisis.

Fiction vs Fact of Gen Z: 6 Myths Surrounding the Newest Entrants of the Workforce (and the Truth Behind Them)
There’s a new cohort of workers hitting the labor market — Generation Z. They were born between 1997 and 2012, are considered the most diverse generation to date, never knew a world without smartphones, and are the most comfortable using gender-neutral pronouns. While in 2022 the youngest of Gen Z are just entering middle school, the oldest members (who are in their early 20s) have already spent some time in the workforce — either in-person or remotely. By 2025, this generation will comprise nearly 30% of the workforce.
