I feel like you've really missed out on the psychology of the typical Gen-Z person. For almost the last 10 years of running a business, many of these people have a different philosophy of life and different expectations. They commit time and energy to get an education, then expect that the world is going to pay them handsomely. Anyone that has spent real time working knows that the education is a foundation of knowledge and it takes years to get good at anything, so a high level of pay at a senior level is not realistic. The other part is that they seem to want to have a massive impact on things and expect that their efforts have deep meaning, immediately. There is no understanding that it will take years of hard work to achieve goals and make advancement, they want everything now. I have watched a good hard working past employee bounce between 4 jobs in 5 years trying to find that happy place, often with the excuse that the change has benefited their personal life , like allowing them to work from home, but also they feel like they can make a difference somewhere else. They barely give a specific job a chance before jumping ship and want everything handed to them without real long term investment. Not all are bad, but there is a bigger challenge these days when they are persuaded by unrealistic peacock displays on whatever social media platform of choice.

companies don't want to train anyone because they all just leave a year after spending 3-6 months training them. this is due to employees having no loyalty and the "fuck employers and go get your own first" mentality. not to mention the entitled, lazy attitude that they have. training them how to even be a part of the workforce in general is work in of itself. it's just not worth the money to train them, while overpaying them, and then getting shit on them for being unreasonable capitalist pigs, and then finally when they're somewhat useful, they jump ship to somewhere else. fuck that noise. typical gen z and millennials blaming everyone besides themselves for the consequences of their own actions.

What a joke. HR people with no real skills talking out their rearends again.

My son is Gen Z- my son has NEVER gone without a job longer than 2 weeks between jobs since he was 15. He’s 20 now. He shows up on time/ has wonderful references- he Never calls off…he gets experience at one job and is constantly looking to make more money. This generation IMO doesn’t have the same sense of urgency like mine or others…not having a job was not an option. I took commission only jobs for 20 years- I own my own business after getting into insurance which doesn’t take degrees although I have several- a Ph.D even. If you want it bad enough it’ll happen. My son has always been ambitious and he’s really good at selling himself and talking to anyone and everyone. I’ve never once helped my son with his jobs either, he finds them himself! This is huge as I think many parents today take on that responsibility and it doesn’t help them get anywhere . Each generation has its challenges- I went thru 2008 as a single mom- went back to school and I made it happen- took 10 years but I did it to build the six figure biz I have today. My son saw all of that and has my work ethic Keep trying, keep learning and don’t give up…and maybe a trade or insurance or something like that is a better bet than some employer offering you minimum wage

The job market is in absolute shambles, fraudulent listings, no high paying jobs, educated individuals can't get jobs paying $40k/yr USA in shambles

Who is going to do senior level work? Incompetent Juniors

It's arbitrary pto, not unlimited.

Interesting conversation- thank you! When I was in the corporate world (way back when) I don't recall ever rcving feedback after a job interview. Recruiter or not. I think how people's maturity level is crucial here. Not sure if I would have been perfect myself at that age or stage in my life...

Your brand is about doing and putting into practice a level of excellence that makes a statement about your org to get it done. It’s just no longer referred to as “corporate brand” Never been a fan of external DEI programs, if a company is not weaving in diversity internally intentionally, then they likely won’t spend on services. Vibe is important, but I’d argue that vibe creates organizational culture so ultimately your choosing the culture. Great Rant this week!

Thanks for the helpful video !

Great video, thanks !

Great 👍

Unlimited PTO is mainly a benefit for new hires because seasoned employees get probably around 5+ weeks of PTO a year anyway but new employees only get the 3 max so by giving unlimited PTO to everyone that means everyone is able to take the 5+ not just the seasoned employees.

Hi, sorry what was the Bias Filter you recommended? I'm in Australia.

These little corners are cute but don’t seem productive. In the meantime I ably see your footprint in Chicago… where is the geographical growth. I also don’t see any major clients. Tech, manufacturing, banking etc…. What’s the plan? Where are we at with revenue current and 3-5 year goals and projections? 🤦🏽‍♀️

Mam how to deal with boss/recruiter gaslighting us when its our 1st interview as fresher ? To be very specific when i gave my 1st interview i remember asking him about what would be my job designation like ? To that he replied in some anger that you don't have that kind of experience so you've to handle the office work as well as site work so i remained silent but declined that offer by not approaching them again.. so how to counter such a situation if it happens in future ?? How to politely set boundaries or ask about detailed information of job profile, holidays, work hours etc

Thank you for the rant very agreeable insights.

Open to contract , full-time not really interested in temporary.

Both

I really need to work on my LinkedIn.. good insights

I like to present 5 top candidates and either picking the top candidate or top 2 for final round. The only time I’ve possibly had more than 5 candidates is for high volume roles and IT roles for home grown enterprise systems that required a unique mix of skills.

I take a reference checks with a grain of salt beachside I agree great candidates can adapt, great candidates also grow…. Reference checks are just additional insights, maybe leads to additional questions for the candidates etc, but never drives a acceptance or decline.

I do agree with LinkedIn in has gotten away from its intended purpose. It’s been infiltrated with nonsense. With the change of leadership the value has gone down. Secondly, technology has played a big part in delayed messaging etc. between fake job posting and hacked accounts. Thirdly, lazy recruiting has really been a damper to the industry… the Art of td recruiting needs to be taught and not seen as a default career.

Really true.. there are always organizational task, plans that leadership can move forward during down times. Administrative , strategic, or culture building initiatives. This is also ware a strong culture of professional development, continuous learning, and cross training is important throughout, it usually gives employees the freedom to take Initiative and be a value add in other areas.

Tailoring a resume with highlights that are relevant to the job in which applying. However, if you are seeking employment for a position that is not posted but are sending your resume to the company to alert a company of your interest you may want to leave your resume somewhat broad with a few accomplishments highlighted. Noting a few positions of interest will also be important in this approach. An, example would be an MBA with a very broad background and tones of experience ( a more season candidate)

It’s necessary, but with the rise of the gig economy and COVID employers need to be more open minded when scrutinizing career gaps. Over scrutinizing career gaps will cause employers to miss out on great game changing candidates .

I’d like to hear more about the strategic vision of the company.

Great insights guys!

Open ears 💯🥂

You all make great, nuanced points.

Here is an IMEG recruiter admitting their job posting are fake. kzbin.info/aero/PLZf9uyhYCn4M58_yECIk1QZP_XRMRJudG

Part of the problem is that recruiters are screwing over candidates big time. Thornton Tomasetti contacted me for a job interview and dropped the ball. Their recruiter got angry when I caught her lying and placed her phone call on KZbin. She is angry at me because she feels defamed. kzbin.info/aero/PLZf9uyhYCn4MR663xCTc6CikUqaKoLvGS

Sir I saw your youtube channel your didn't SEO youtube videos and also your youtube channel not monetization so I want to help monetize your youtube channel and videos seo.

100% agree with you all, especially your recognition that just because someone may not have been an ideal employee for you doesn't mean they won't be great elsewhere.

I don’t like the unlimited benefit, but if I had it I would just make track an imaginary bank and make sure I always took 3 to 4 weeks a year

this channel is effing mint, lets get you guys more subscribers!

I always look at it if I can't take at least 5 weeks it isn't a benefit.

conditionally unlimited pto is a more accurate term.

I really enjoyed this video. I used to be (in part of my larger role as an EA) an HR Coordinator and my head of HR hated sourcing and recruiting. Because it was hard. I on the other hand loved helping her With it because I actually enjoy solving complex requests and problems. I've been thinking about getting into sourcing and recruiting and this video is helping me get closer to that decision if I'll ever make the switch. Thank y'all for the insight!

You both don’t recruit. You have no credibility

Two guys who haven’t done recruiting in years talking about recruiting. Hmmm🤥

😂😂😂

There are so many YESSES to the decision you have made in your company, Jeremy. Love it!

Great takeaways! Thanks, guys.

Such an encouraging conversation. Great job everyone. Thanks!

“Taking a step back to move forward.” Love it!

Love the advice! Spot on Tully.

This conversation was awesome! I loved the example you gave also about how you supported Nia, James. How am I the only person who has commented on this? Great stuff!

You really nailed this explanation, Liz.

You two are hilarious🤣
