As Generation Z becomes the dominant demographic entering the workforce, they’re reshaping the way employer brands must show up.  

AI-fluent, value-driven, and skeptical of corporate spin, this new wave of talent expects more than polished brand messaging. They want authenticity, transparency, and experiences that feel built for them.

Is your employer brand built for the next generation of talent? 

Tap into the insights of senior employer brand leaders in the Talent Marketing Board as they unpack how top brands are adapting for the next generation of talent:  

  • Bridging the Trust Gap: How to build authentic, transparent employer brand messaging that resonates with Gen Z.  
  • Adapting to the AI-Native Job Seeker: What Gen Z expects from digital touchpoints, and how brands must evolve their candidate journey to stay relevant. 
  • Content That Converts: Leveraging immersive formats (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Gen Z-preferred platforms) to humanize your brand and attract top young talent. 
  • Values, Voice, and Visibility: Aligning your EVP with Gen Z’s social consciousness without falling into performative traps.
