Understanding Emerging Talent

Is 'Generation Y' all hype? Does it matter?

Are the attitudes, desires and aspirations of today’s top graduate talent so completely different from those of previous generations?

For many, the answer is ‘yes’. They cite a more dynamic crop of graduates, more driven than ever before, more self-aware and more savvy. They are Generation Y, the internet generation, the natural successors to Generation X.

Then there are the ‘naysayers’. They believe that far from seeing a fundamental change in attitude, the career aspirations of today’s top talent remain in concert with previous generations.

Certainly, they have an insatiable desire for instant information – having grown in a connected world – but critically, this generation is taking advantage of the internet, rather than being a product of it.

In our latest report we’ll take a look at this question. We’ll scrutinise what shapes and defines today’s emerging talent to understand the demands and motivations that characterise this new workforce group. We also take an in-depth look at the results of a survey of over 2,000 high performing graduates, examining the top attributes they look for in an employer, and their expectations in terms of connecting with potential employers.

Finally, we review the key priorities and best practice requirements for organisations that seek to attract and engage with the cream of the emerging talent crop.
