Employers

Ambitious, shows initiative, fearless — sound like your ideal employee? Don’t think they exist? Well, they do, and they are called Generation Y.

With tough skin and a can-do attitude that would make an 18th Century explorer blush, Gen Y represents the future of how business will look and run. The only problem is finding them. They don’t pound the pavement, they don’t mail in resumes printed on special paper. Gen Y is sending e-mails, posting to Facebook and updating their Twitter timelines. This generation was raised to communicate on a level of their own. They were raised in times when technology, not old-fashioned handshaking, prevailed as the mainstream networking tool.

Whether it is through providing mentorship guidelines or discussing out-of-the-box ways to find new employees, GenYNetworking.com (a microsite of Come Recommended) is here to guide you through understanding and connecting with Gen Y. More importantly, it’s about getting you face-to-face time with the future of your company online and off.
