The problem
Most teams like yours are struggling to find the right people or feel invisible to the next generation of talent. But the issue might not be what you think.
Young people don't need more ambition, drive or determination. They have that in abundance. What they need is more information, opportunity and access.
With the huge variety of roles available within retail, the majority of young people have narrowed their view down to two before your recruitment campaign has even launched.
Career decisions are being made far earlier than organisations realise, so reaching the right people with the right information at the right time is key.
