HireRight’s 2018 Small / Medium Business Spotlight Report Reveals Challenges, Strategies for Recruiting Younger Generations
Summary
It provides insights for business in each category, helping them improve their recruiting and screening processes, and their understanding of the challenges that each company segment faces. However, smaller companies appear less interested than larger organizations in utilizing technology or improving the candidate experience to reach and recruit applicants. This is troubling, as both technology and the candidate experience are important factors for the younger workforce when deciding on where to work: “The findings from our 2018 Small and Medium Business Spotlight Report show that companies are not using every tool at their disposal to reach, attract and recruit younger candidates,” said Guy Abramo, chief executive officer at HireRight. “All organizations – particularly smaller companies – can improve their recruiting and retention efforts by developing a better understanding of what younger generations are looking for as they enter the workforce. Employers can tailor HireRight’s extensive screening solutions to their unique needs, giving them peace of mind about their hiring and vetting processes.
