For example, the title of your job posting is critical. Candidates very well may know some of the industry jargon, but you have to think like a job seeker.

The guide touches on what will specifically attract Gen Z talent to your posting. If you understand what they seek in a job and a career, such as stability and growth, your job posting can speak to that.
