Look, we get it. Interviewing isn’t easy. There’s a lot that goes into preparing.

We’ve been through our fair share of interviews and we’ve learned a few things over the years while coaching candidates AND hiring managers on what to look for. So, looking for/listening for the good stuff is a given, but what about…. things you SHOULDN’T say?

Let’s talk about millennials. That’s right, we said it — Millennials.  

A few stats to kick things off. 

75% of Millennials would prefer to work from home or other locations

78% of Millennials see workplace quality as important when choosing an employer.

59% of Millennials say flexibility will improve productivity

59% of Millennials say opportunities to learn and grow are extremely important to them when applying for a job

87% of Millennials say professional development or career growth opportunities are very important in any position they are in or are considering

There’s far more than simply checking the box of “I need a job” in this day and age. The complexities of finding the groove with millennials is something Spire works through on a daily basis. In this episode, Mike and Matt give their perspectives on the workforce of today — and especially the workforce of very near future.

Sourcing great people for the right role isn’t always the same as finding say… the right puzzle piece. Or a perfect match. As business continues to evolve and the workforce becomes more diverse, seeking to understand what is truly best for a company, a team, and an individual should be at the top of the list, right? Understanding realities on both sides — from the client or company AND the candidate is the way forward.

We've been at this for over six years now and we've learned quite a bit along the way. We, at Spire, are excited to share our knowledge with you that we've picked up over the years.

In this first episode, we want to give you an opportunity to learn about us, what makes us different, and how we are working hard to rewrite the way hiring strategically is managed in today's business world.
