Australian Centre for Career Education’s Post

Big thanks to Nogie Irabor for setting up my visit and Jack Williams for welcoming me to the recent IHR - In-house Recruitment Early Careers Event. It was a fascinating day, hearing about where leaders in the Early Careers space are investing their time, efforts & budgets to attract & hire the very best talent. My key takeaway from the day: Gen Z candidates are demanding fundamental change in both attraction & hiring. Their suspicion of big business isn’t limited to their consumer behaviour, but also how they’re looking for jobs. Authenticity is key for these candidates who are much more likely to engage with self-generated social media content from grads and apprentices than they are with a sanitised corporate careers video. Early careers teams are blazing the trail when it comes to their hiring processes. Strength based assessments allow for those with little to no work experience to demonstrate their suitability for a role whilst bleeding edge tech platforms are allowing employers to run their assessments entirely online; ensuring ability to travel is no longer a barrier to entry and allowing candidates to use accessibility tools without needing to request assistance. It was also great to see the rise in popularity of Apprenticeships with many leading employers. With many people priced out of university or unwilling to take on large amounts of debt with no guarantee of a job afterwards, schemes that offer a good salary, on the job training and frequently a degree equivalent qualification is becoming a much stronger proposition. Some fantastic content and ideas were exchanged on the day, but I wanted to call out the following…. If your existing grad hiring processes or tools are feeling distinctly “school boy”, it might be time to level up. The team at Talent Tech Solutions can help. Drop me a line or follow us.
