Main Idea: This session is about meaningful engagement and transparent communication are more important than ever when recruiting Gen Z

Three simple shifts in your early recruitment perspectives that will help your organization create systemic change, which starts with prioritizing the next generation of talent:

• If your industry is one that recruits early and you can't shift the timeline, invest in ways to meet candidates where they are, make it easier for them to engage with you, and, most importantly, make that engagement less intimidating.

• When posting a job, make it easy for the candidate to understand exactly what you're looking for. Lead with the job function, not the industry. Title your position succinctly and make it easy to understand. Use the position description to include short-form content. Within minutes, candidates should know exactly:

• What am I going to be doing? (function),

• Where am I going to do this? (industry),

• Why do I want to do this? (culture and values) and 4. Can I afford to do this? (compensation).

• When considering potential candidates for an entry-level role, look way beyond a GPA, for the aforementioned reason and because GPAs and grading processes vary significantly not just between different schools, but between every single professor and class that a student takes.
