Things the top Headhunting company in Germany must know before hiring Generation Z

Gone are the days of hiring Generation X or Y, the time has come when all the top Headhunting companies in Germany are looking to hire Generation Z. So, who falls under this category? Generation Z refers to the millennials who are born in the 1990s and onwards. This generation brings with them the tag of being technically advanced and thus it requires certain alterations when it comes to hiring this generation. A Headhunter in Germany needs to plan ahead in order to make the positions “Z friendly.â€? Here are the things you must know before hiring them:  Big fat paychecks


If you thought that big fat paychecks can attract this Generation, then here is the reality check. Good remuneration is liked by everyone, this stands true even for this generation, but it is not enough in order to attract this new generation to any organisation. So, when conversing with this generation, instead of focusing on the salary packages, put more emphasis on the opportunities for career advancement and the company culture.  They are pragmatic individuals Generation Z knows it all and is quite pragmatic in approach. So, instead of beating around the bush, getting to the point in a straightforward manner with these potential employees seems to be the best idea. Theyseemto value stability in work and a constant pay, in light of the recession and financial crisis they have seen during their growing-up days.  They are futuristic in approach The generation before this was not concerned too much about what is going to happen in the future, but this generation is concerned about the future. So, when talking to them about the company, don't just give the information about the current status of the company or what the company can do for the employee at present, but also include what the company has in its kitty for the employees in years to come.  Use their entrepreneurial spirit The millennials of Generation Z are lean towards autonomy and this comes with a large entrepreneurial spirit. They have potential ideas and schemes which can be used for the good of the society as a whole. So, when interviewing them, show them how their high spirits can be efficiently absorbed in the organization. Show them the flexibility the company can give to them when it comes to the implementation of their ideas and thoughts.  They don't like sitting idly in the office Gen Z likes being busy at the office during work hours. They are willing to do loads of work and showcase their multitasking abilities. They can even work late hours if the work requires immediate attention. But, when there is no work, they don't like sitting in the office just to chit chat or do any kind of meaningless job. When they work, they work purposefully, but when they think sitting is a waste of time, they won't sit. So, if a company provides flexible working hours, with thefocus not being on the number of hours


spent in the office, but rather on the output generated, this generation can work wonders with them.
