How to Write a Job Description That Appeals to Gen Z Candidates
Generation Z is now the dominant entry-level cohort, reshaping early career recruitment with new expectations and behaviors. Unlike previous generations, Gen Z candidates often rely solely on the job description to decide whether to apply, with limited additional research into the company beforehand. Recent data collected by RippleMatch shows that 69% of Gen Z candidates read the full job description before applying, but don't seek out further details on the organization until later stages. This makes job descriptions critical real estate for communicating essential information, as they’re often the only impression a candidate will get before deciding to apply.
5 Ways to Increase Your Job Offer Acceptance Rates Among Gen Z
In today's recruitment landscape, winning over Gen Z candidates can be time-consuming and expensive. Between visiting campus, attending conferences, hosting virtual events, and posting on online platforms, recruitment teams are turning to multifaceted methods to build out their class of entry-level hires and interns. That means when teams do narrow down their applicant pool to the ones they want to extend offers to, maximizing that offer acceptance rate is key. Let's take a closer look at how teams can increase their offer acceptance rate among Gen Z candidates, backed by RippleMatch data collected on what candidates are looking for in the hiring process and workplace.
