BIDDING WITH THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION
It is a precious privilege to be someone’s first employer: wise heads can teach the newcomer many aspects of bidding. Although enthusiasm, willingness to learn and strong IT skills are a must, the employer must nurture the recruit in a supportive environment with permission to get things wrong whilst ensuring employers/clients receive high quality work.
The driving force to win usually suggests a need for experience over youth. By striking the right balance of success and investment in the next generation, however, the outcome is a young, loyal workforce used to winning.
Takeaway:
- How to attract millennials as your recruits
- Understand their support needs
- See why it’s worth investing!
