If your company is looking for a corporate recruiter, chances are many of your candidates will be Gen Zers, according to a new report.
In its recent report, A Change of Pace For Gen Z Employees Entering the Workforce, Glassdoor analyzed its database of company reviews to examine which functions, companies, and cities employees rate best. The report found that “Generation Z workers are happiest in roles that give them the opportunity to shape organizational culture and make a social impact.”
The top-rated job for Gen Z employees is corporate recruiter, with a score of 4.79 on a 5-point scale. Marketing managers (4.56) and social media managers (4.46) follow closely behind.
Although data shows that Gen Zers born between 1997 and 2012 are excited to work in roles that involve influence and influence, Glassdoor found that they are less satisfied with their jobs than other demographic groups, which is mainly is due to the impact of the pandemic on jobs. While Gen Z workers and Millennials rate their job satisfaction at 3.80, Gen X workers rate theirs at 3.85, and Boomers are happiest in their role at 3.93.
However, there are some jobs that Gen Z find cheaper than others. According to Glassdoor’s report, here are the top 10 jobs that make Gen Zers happy:
1. Corporate Recruiter
Average rating: 4.79
2. Marketing Manager
Average rating: 4.56
3. Social Media Manager
Average rating: 4.46
4. Data Scientist
Average rating: 4.44
5. Product Manager
Average rating: 4.40
6. IT specialist
Average rating: 4.35
7. Account Coordinator
Average rating: 4.31
8. Credit Analyst
Average rating: 4.30
9. Project Engineer
Average rating: 4.28
10. Business Development Associate
Average rating: 4.28
Corporate recruitment, which offers Gen Z the greatest job satisfaction, offers an opportunity to “shape how companies attract and retain talent, including helping build diverse and inclusive workforces.”
“For example, corporate recruiters can ensure candidates come from geographic regions that have historically been overlooked and at universities that often don’t receive the same level of attention as top-tier institutions,” Richard Johnson, associate economist at Glassdoor, said in the report.
This role was also ranked number one among non-Gen Z workers (4.59), followed by Real Estate Agent (4.56) and Technical Account Manager (4.56) in second and third place respectively.
According to Johnson, these results also reflect Generation Z’s desire to work in companies with a collaborative, inclusive and innovative culture.
“Entering the workforce during the pandemic hasn’t been easy for Gen Z, but Glassdoor data shows these younger workers are happiest in jobs rooted in community and creativity, and especially satisfied when they work for larger companies work established to withstand turbulent economic periods,” Johnson said in a press release.
“This next generation of talent is already shaping the future of work, so employers looking to attract and retain a younger workforce need to consider what jobs, companies and cities will truly satisfy Gen Z.”
