Recruiting Millennials: Where to Begin

As employers strive to reach, engage and hire Millennial talent, a new report out today by Findly outlines strategies for connecting with this demographic group that is, by most measures, highly educated, self-confident, absorbed by technology and ambitious. Findly, the on-demand talent provider and a Symphony Technology Group (STG) company, shared details from its latest white paper with Hunt Scanlon Media this morning.

According to Findly, Millennials are expected to represent 75 percent of the global workforce by 2020. Given the size of this generation, born between 1980 and 2000, as well as the upcoming exodus of Baby Boomers from the job market, there is a growing focus on recruiting and nurturing Millennial talent. A 2012 survey jointly released by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and AARP shows that U.S. employers are increasing investments in training programs to narrow expected skills gaps left when Baby Boomers retire.
