Investing in the Future: How To Build Out an Early ID Strategy Without Overloading Your Team

In today’s fast-moving campus recruitment landscape, it can be difficult to think beyond the next month—let alone plan for next year.

This Pride Month, we’re recognizing companies that are putting in the work to welcome LGBTQIA+ employees with open arms, and making the workplace a more inclusive place for all.
Fiction vs Fact of Gen Z: 6 Myths Surrounding the Newest Entrants of the Workforce (and the Truth Behind Them)

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.
