Recruitment & Employee Engagement
Attracting and getting the best out of employing young people
We understand that recruiting young people, and employing young people, can be challenging. To get the best from your recruitment programme, you need to understand that the game has completely changed, and the world is now a place of AI job applications and employees that ‘quiet quit’.
But there are a lot of myths to bust around employing Gen Z. At Participation People, we help businesses establish processes that work to attract the best young talent and side-step application pitfalls. Plus, we aim to improve engagement, drive motivation, and retain the next generation of your colleagues and team-members.
Youth-proof Recruitment and Retention
We work with you on a consultancy basis to get under the bonnet of your recruitment and staff retention, review processes and practices through a youth expert lens, and help you to gamify your approach for better Gen Z buy-in.
By understanding how your staff systems are operating, we can pinpoint how, where, and why young people are disengaging with your employer brand. Through consultancy and workshops, we can then identify the steps you need to take to unlock the best of the next generation, giving you the roadmap to attract, nurture, and grow your future leaders.
Co-created content
To help you attract and retain the best young talent at scale, we provide the option to co-create your recruitment materials, from the job ads themselves, through to the campaigns that help you spread the word.
We can also offer expert insight into job ad placement, helping you reach untapped potential talent in new areas. Connecting with your young employees and shining a light on them through proactive recruitment comms is the final key to growing groundswell in a successful co-created recruitment programme.
Training and support
We have a range of training and support options to help you continue to get the best out of your Gen Z employees.
This varies from building youth-proofed orientation and induction training packages, to bespoke support that embeds a Gen Z friendly approach into company culture.
We can provide one-off sessions to help managers get the best from the young people they work with, and ongoing outsourced Continued Professional Development to help key individuals reach their goals with young people in mind. These options have been developed to help you nurture strong relationships, balancing expectations vs reality within a high-performing team.
