Recruitment Strategies

The world of work is changing. When we compare your generation with your

parents generation we can see that your generation has much higher

expectations than your parents’ generation. You are more ambitious, and will

probably have more chances to develop in your career.

However, some employers are complaining that while most of the new employees

have the technical skills and knowledge to work in high tech environments they don’t

have very good communication skills. One employer said that interviewing candidates is

becoming very difficult. Every student has been programmed like a robot to respond in the

same way. We usually choose the candidate who has something different to say compared

with everyone else.
