Hiring early-career talent is a smart move for your business. Find out why, then connect with potential employees.

Top Qualities of Early-Career Talent

They're independent and self-motivated, seeking help only after they've tried to solve problems on their own.

They're more diverse than other generations, bringing new perspectives and experiences to your organization.

As digital natives, they tend to learn new technologies easily and are always looking for ways to innovate.

Competitive, purposeful and career-driven, this generation doesn't hesitate to go after what it wants.

Tips for recruiting talent and using Ribit, a networking site that's partnered with SAS.

  • Review your posting to be sure you're communicating your corporate values and job description to potential employees.
  • Is your posting telling the story about your business that you want it to tell? Remember that potential hires will be reading your posting as part of their research.
  • Define the type of employee you're looking for and write a job description that targets a specific skill set.
  • Publish educational materials to help students sharpen their skills and focus their talents before they graduate.
  • Create an account on Ribit (or find your existing account) and connect with early career talent.
  • Contact Ribit about holding an event.
