Generation Z is the first generation to be formed by digital natives. They are young people who are early entrepreneurs and have practically been educated and they socialize with the Internet in their pockets. In order to take advantage of all the talent and labor potential of this generation, companies should adapt their structures and their activities. In fact, the initial emergence of the young Z’s in the labor market is already changing some of the selection and hiring patterns in companies.
An example of this is the growing generalization in the method of using a blind CV (one that does not provide personal data) in the selection process of candidates, as the competition for talent nowadays is enormous, regardless of where the applicant has studied, region, country or the master studied.
Another trend that has been gaining momentum thanks to Generation Z is the collaborative economy. These young professionals promote the quality of users as well as the quality of entrepreneurs and service providers. Managing this market niche can be a key aspect when designing positions for future jobs, as well as for initiatives to reduce unemployment.
This data, collected in the report Generation Z. The latest generational gap, elaborated by ATREVIA and the Deusto Business School, clearly shows the huge impact that these young people represent in all areas, which are beginning to be incorporated into the labor world.
