Recruiting Trends Block One [2024]

Gen Z is on the move

Gen Z is the most flexible generation on the job market. They are not afraid to change jobs if they feel stuck. Accordingly, 6 in 10 of them have changed jobs in 2023. Companies that want to attract and retain the best young talent need to offer them challenging and rewarding careers. 'Zoomers' are also the generation that will not be chained to a desk, but surprisingly, 40% of them still have jobs that are 100% office-based.
