For years, companies have labeled Millennials as entitled and narcissistic. But as savvy employers can tell you, this simply isn’t true. Millennials, also known as Generation Y, are just different. As a generation, they’re more confident, tech savvy, optimistic, and connected than previous generations. But they also differ in what they want, the skills they bring to the table, and how they communicate. While some companies are slowly adapting their recruiting methods to appeal to this new generation of employees, others refuse to change. Those companies that are slow to adapt may ultimately hurt their own bottom line—especially since Millennials will represent 40 percent of the workforce by 2020.
