Hiring Across the Board: Recruiting Multi-Generational Candidates

Every company, both large and small, would like to increase the number of less-experienced and more experienced candidates they hire. Our panel, composed of members of several different generations, will speak about what is most important to them about a company they would work for, ideally highlighting successful approaches to hiring members of their respective generations. The goal of this panel is to equip companies of all sizes with knowledge and strategies to recruit, hire, and retain less-experienced, moderately-experienced, and more experienced candidates profitably.
