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.
