# Top 10 Effective Tips for Recruiting Millennials

## A Company called Zendesk, out of San Francisco, California really knows how to recruit the Gen Y population!

Watch their YouTube to learn what really is an effective way to attract Millennials to your company:

If your organization is struggling to attract Millennials consider adding some of these suggestions to your recruitment process:

**1. Don’t tell, show.**

Video is the preferred method for the Millennial generation.

**2. Showcase your growth. **

Not with boring charts and graphs but through pictures and videos. Gen Yers are interested in becoming an integral part of something that’s growing, especially globally.

**3. Expose your culture. **

Millennials will choose culture over anything else.

**4. Flaunt your employees. **

Millennials want to see who they’d be working alongside. The more diverse and creative the team…the better. Use real employees in all your recruiting materials.

**5. Unveil the lifestyle. **

Millennials often choose a city before they choose a job. Showcase the neighborhood of your organizations’ headquarters including the restaurants, and bars where their employees visit.

**6. Reveal the office. **

Highlight the innovate workspaces and work perks (pets at work, etc.).

**7. Show what your actual work day looks like. **

Show what it looks like going to work, who they are going to meet there, a typical desk, how they will collaborate, and where meetings are held. The easier they can visualize themselves at your organization, the easier their decision.

**8. Show off technology. **

Millennials desire an innovative environment to quench their tech dependence.

**9. Exhibit social perks. **

Millennials are looking for community as much as they are a job. Highlight your organizations’  community outreach, parties, and company sport teams. Show the sociability of your company!

**10. Feature your leaders. **

Highly visible leaders gives Millennials the impression of a flatter organization, which they prefer.  Also emphasize the teamwork that happens at your company.  Millennials value team collaboration.
