Whilst you may not necessarily want them, you do need them. In a research paper completed by McCrindle Research Pty Ltd (McCrindle), it was found that whilst today Gen Z comprise 15% of Australia’s workforce, in a decade they will comprise one third. With this generation entering the workforce now, it is crucial for workplaces to get on board, or risk being left behind.

In a preliminary analysis completed by representatives of eleven Queensland local governments, recruitment duration was identified as a key constraint for councils.  Furthermore, in a study completed by American campus recruitment company Yello, it was found that 54% of Gen Z candidates say that they will not submit an application if the recruitment methods are outdated. 

​

Attracting quality candidates is the primary objective of all employers; however, for councils the pursuit of quality often results in an arduous process for any candidate.

Streamlining this process not only markets as a benefit to Gen Z but also to the greater recruitment collective.
