Current graduates 'are recruitment challenge'

Current graduates 'are recruitment challenge' Today's generation of school-leavers and graduates known as Generation Y represent a recruitment challenge for employers, it has been claimed.

Surveying global business leaders on the issues of talent and recruitment, the Stepstone Total Talent report 2008 indicated that many companies could be unprepared for the challenges presented by the 'internet generation'.

Commenting on the findings, Colin Tenwick, chief executive officer of Stepstone, said: "In recruitment terms, this means that the traditional printed job advertisement can't be guaranteed to reach this demographic. The way they look for a job is ultimately very different."

Additionally, Generation Y is increasingly demanding in what it expects from employment opportunities.

Mr Tenwick points out that Generation Y is entering the workforce with "higher expectations" of what employers promise, not only in terms of career development, but also in their "ethics and values".

StepStone provides software and online services that enable businesses to find and manage talent.
