Job Recruitment Trends: Recent Time Magazine Report Sheds Light and Sparks Debate on the Millennial Generation

MATAWAN, N.J., June 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent report in Time magazine describing the Millennial Generation as "lazy, entitled narcissists" has sparked much debate and discussion. No matter what your opinion is on the topic, the reality is that Millennials, those aged 18-29, are different from the generation before them – in particular with respect to their use of and dependence on technology. Various reports have found that as employees, Millennials tend to have different needs, motivations, and characteristics than the Generation X workers who came before them. And that's something to take note of, given the fact that the U.S Bureau of Labor Statics reports Millennials will comprise 40% of the workforce by 2020.  As with any generation, when it comes to hiring and recruiting the best and brightest, organizations need to know the latest techniques and trends to engage with them effectively.

As a thought leader in the HR industry, iCIMS, Inc., a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) talent acquisition software solutions for growing businesses, has been at the forefront of educating HR professionals, recruiters, and hiring managers on the topic of Millennials for some time now. Earlier this year, iCIMS Chief Marketing Officer, Susan Vitale gave a presentation on the subject at the prestigious HR West conference in Oakland, California.

"Given how critical this generation of workers will be to the future growth of business worldwide, attendees showed a genuine interest in learning how to find, engage, and retain Millennials most effectively," said Susan Vitale, Chief Marketing Officer, iCIMS, "The feedback was so positive that we decided to take it to a larger audience with a live webinar."

To further shed light on how to capture the attention of Millennial job seekers, iCIMS is hosting a Higher Expectation Institute webinar called, "How to Attract & Engage Millennial Talent." Webinar host and iCIMS Product Specialist Michael Center will give attendees insight into how to attract the best and brightest from the Millennial workforce so companies can take their operations to the next level.

Topics to be covered include:

• Defining Millennials inside and outside the workplace
• Tips for attracting both active and passive Millennial job seekers
• Information regarding the technologies Millennials are using in their job search and how recruiters can best leverage them
