Y Gen Y: Maintaining Access to Top Talent

In early January, Experience held a joint meeting with our University & Employer advisory boards. Out of that session emerged the idea of a whitepaper to address a perceived and growing need—to help employers understand how Gen Y will impact the future success of their business.

We gathered together our best thinking and collectively offer you 5 reasons why Gen Y is strategically important and 7 cost-effective suggestions on how employers can maintain their access to top talent.

"Great! The simplicity of the format for both the white paper and video is very engaging and memorable. We are getting many requests from employers to help with maintaining their partnership with NIU but have no funds or positions at this time. This is a great tool for developing new recruitment strategies at this time."

"One interesting point—during mild recessions, companies will often hire new grads for certain fields more aggressively, as they are looking to find similar skilled talent at reduced costs. I often wonder how much is being done at the college advisor level to steer students who are not sure which academic fields to major on toward fields that have a strong need for more talent (i.e. biomedical, healthcare, certain engineering fields). As a recruiter who has been involved in these various market dynamics for over 20 years, it's interesting to see how the "supply demand" curves have not changed all that much for these fields. Just a thought. Thanks."
