Flexibility is top priority for candidates in 2023

Candidate motivators have changed since the pandemic, with priorities being more holistic. Companies that offer a good work/life balance and body and mind health initiatives are attracting more candidates than those that offer a fancy work space.

Flexibility has become the number one priority when searching for a new role, over and above compensation.

It is clear that flexibility is what employers need to be offering in order to attract talented candidates in 2023, whether that’s in terms of hours, location or contract type.

Gen Z to hit the job market

According to Forbes, Gen Z will make up 27% of the global workforce by 2025. The new wave of employees will come with a different set of workplace expectations and priorities than the generations before.

Brand Identity

Your brand identity is how candidates will perceive you at first glance. They will look at your company values and goals when they visit your website or landing page.

Streamline your interview process

54% of Gen Zers won’t complete an online job application if the job process is too long, antiquated or complicated. Prioritising a straight forward interview process with proper communication at each step will help recruiters reach talent while they are still engaged.
