The survey offers exclusive insights into the motivations of this next wave of talent, and how recruiters and companies can best engage these recent and soon-to-be graduates.
“In the workplace, Millennials are often labeled as entitled, lacking company loyalty, and only focusing on perks such as happy hours or in-office ping pong tables. Our data debunks that myth and shows recruiters what really motivates Millennials,” said Jason Weingarten, CEO and cofounder of Yello.
Key findings of the study include:
Career growth and learning are valued over salary: Respondents were two times more likely to value career growth and learning over salary in accepting a job. “Millennials are clearly drawn, first and foremost, to employers that offer continued growth and learning opportunities. Increasing the salary for indemand candidates no longer works; today’s job seekers simply cannot be bought,” said Weingarten.
