Ilume Podcast Feature: Recruit and Retain GenZ College Grads

This week on Build Me Up we are featuring an episode from our friends at KA Insurance on talent retention and recruitment. The construction industry, like many industries, is facing a workforce shortage. While Baby Boomers are beginning to retire, GenZers are stepping up into the workforce and we have started asking the question of how to build, retain, and engage a multi-generational workforce.

One of the greatest risks that businesses face without much of a safety net involves hiring and retaining the right people for the job.  In a tight labor market, the winners will understand the market and evolve to meet the moment.  GenZ has already entered the workforce and will be the future for many years.   This group has had unique experiences that has shaped their outlook and expectations.  Brian Johnson, co-founder and partner at Katapult Network, focuses primarily on entry level roles for recent college graduates.  He consults with both candidates and employers to help bridge the gap between traditional hiring practices and what he calls the future of work.  Join the discussion to hear Brian’s perspective and advice for leading the way and securing the talent you need to grow your business.
