Appleton Finn’s Post

"Young people can barely get through an interview – let alone become valuable employees" This sort of rhetoric absolutely infuriates me!! There are bad workers in ALL generations - trust me, I've worked with dozens throughout my career. What people are seem to forget is what they were like (and what the world was like) at 18, 19, and 20 years old... I think it unlikely that we were all allstar employees back then! Generation Z has faced some of the greatest academic and career-based setbacks of any generation in recent memory. The world has become more connected (in many ways to the detriment to people's mental health), more polarised, and much more diverse in the past two decades. Not to mention, I have multiple Gen-Z colleagues on my team who would run rings around businesspeople that I know from older generations! Instead of complaining about Gen Z being bad workers, here's what I'd like to see employers doing more of: 1) Investing their time and money in youth (before and during their time at your company) (If you want to talk #scholarships, then let's do it!) 2) Revisit your interviewing process and get better at weeding out candidates who don't fit your business 3) Create engaging training programmes that focus on outcomes - rather than prescriptive behaviours that you think are the best way to do something (allow for some bloody innovation) 4) Take another look at how you incentivise your teams by creating a mission that matters to your employees 5) Stop shouting with generalised, inflammatory rhetoric because you had a bad experience If you want to figure out how to get the most of your Gen Z workforce, and build a pipeline of the best talent around, feel free to get in touch. But don't bother if you're going to talk about them in this way. #SocialMobility #TalentStrategy #Recruitment #Workforce #FutureOfWork https://lnkd.in/eEQh-acD

Here, Joe Robertson, Executive Search Consultant at Appleton Finn talks about his experience of candidates making things difficult when it comes to securing new roles.

#TechnicalTuesday So based on the #popularity of my #Stanley post, I thought we should keep the #theme going....and I like to think I am #funny 🤣 But let's talk #business. Does your company track their #costtohire 💲 ? Do they track every hour ⏲ their #recruiting team spends on #sourcing 🕵♀️ #interviewing #posting etc? Especially in the #niche, #technical 💻 , and #cleared space, this can look VERY different...just like all three of my friends below. They are all #Stanley but they are not the #same. 💡 Sometimes it is more cost effective to do internal recruiting 💡 Sometimes it is more cost effective to use a partner like #SparksGroup 💡 Sometimes it is more cost effective to #promote and/or #upskill internally 💡 Sometimes it is more cost effective to run #lean (and conversely, sometimes it can cost the company MORE money 💰 to not #hire enough) Let's chat 🔊 #SparksGroup #staffwithsparks #hiring #diversesupplier #partners #technicalrecruiting #clearedrecruiting #stanleycup #theoffice

Corporate culture that needs to be changed: * Office Politics * Connect Favoritism or favors given towards an employee * Micromanagement * Explanations for every leave taken * Glorifying Overworking * Expecting staff to be available 24/7 * Meetings that could have been an email * Unsympathetic Layoffs * Non Appreciating Behavior * Credits due of an employee * More than 3 rounds of job interviews #CorporateCultureChange #WorkLifeBalance #RespectBoundaries #copiedpost #copied
