Bridging the Gap: IT Recruiters For All Ages
The information technology field, being relatively new as a professional field, is particularly inundated with generations X and Y. It is also inundated with the problems that generations X and Y can cause in the workplace. IT recruiters Boston to IT recruiters CA agree that generations X and Y certainly approach work and the workplace in different ways than their boomer generation counterparts.
There are many examples of disparate views IT recruiting companies see between generations as they attempt to fill IT jobs. For instance, IT staffing agencies know from experience that while baby boomer managers tend to have experienced the workforce in only one or two companies, generations X and Y don’t operate on the same sense of a strong loyalty between company and employee. IT staffing companies also know that generations X and Y will/have already begun making more moves in their career field than baby boomers. This means that IT job interviews can be especially fraught with tension as interviewers see vastly varied resumes that they do not expect. It is the role of the IT recruiting agencies to help mold the resumes and the IT managers’ expectations to something closer to the middle. IT managers can be persuaded to have more realistic expectations of a generation X or Y candidate, while IT staffing firms can coach IT consultants to understand and work harder to meet the expectations of a baby boomer IT manager. The best asset technical recruiters can have in a market with two largely clashing sets of generations is to know how to bridge them and their expectations. Happy generations X and Y and baby boomer IT professionals make for happy clients and candidates. And happy clients and candidates make for very happy IT headhunters.
