Top 10 Millennial recruiting considerations identified

1. Millennials typically are not looking for long-term career positions. Many are looking to gain knowledge that they can leverage in their next position. The company, the product, or the service provided is not as important as what the millennial can gain for their experience. During the recruiting process, care must be given to understanding exactly what the millennial is looking for in a position,  Will it be a short employment opportunity or one they can stick with for a 3 to 5 year period?
2. The company website is one of the first places that millennials will look for information before they do anything else.

4. Social media reputation is a key consideration in their decision to accept or reject a job offer.
5. Millennials prefer companies that are forward-thinking and digitally tuned. Social media presence is important.
6. They often will not consider an environment where they are at a desk in football field-sized office versus a telecommuting environment.
7. Communication and training are key components of the culture that millennials need to understand. These individuals look for companies that have an experience base they can learn from, Typically, millennials do now what to create from scratch.  Therefore, they need to have a way to connect with those who have gone before them.
8. Millennials expect and require modern technology to do their jobs and will specifically look for employers that offer cutting edge tools.
