Age diversity | Almost 1 in 5 Gen Z candidates drop out of hiring process

Eighteen per cent of Generation Z candidates are abandoning the recruitment process even after being offered the job, new research reveals.

Gen Z – the generation succeeding millennials who are born between 1995 to 2012 – are now leaving full-time education to break into the employment world, the report by Oleeo and MyKindaFuture says.

And the report worryingly suggests that the reason Gen Z are retracting from the recruitment process or declining job opportunities is because recruiters and employers aren’t sure how to engage with them from the start – onrec reports.

Charles Hipps, CEO and Founder of Oleeo, says that Gen Z demand a different kind of relationship to other generational demographics.
