2023 Benchmarking Report

The Early Career Recruitment Index

What do the actions of thousands of recruiters and millions of Gen Z candidates reveal about the 2022-2023 recruitment season?

To shed light on the current state of early career recruitment and align the values of employers and candidates, we have meticulously analyzed a year’s worth of data from our platform, complemented by insights from a comprehensive survey of over 3,000 internship and job seekers.

This report is intended to serve as a
benchmarking tool for your team, enabling you to gain a comprehensive understanding of how employers are strategically approaching Gen Z hiring and efficiently allocating their time and resources to prioritize what matters most, particularly in times of economic uncertainty where they are being asked to do more with fewer resources.

Read our report to gain actionable knowledge you need to future-proof your organization and to attract, retain, and nurture Gen Z today.
