"People aren\u2019t looking for a career where they just clock in, sell their 8-9 hours per day for a paycheck, and go home to actually be who they are." -Josh Cunningham

Takeaways + Tactics

• Millennials are looking for more than just a way to give 8 hours of their time in exchange for a paycheck. They\u2019re looking for a team environment and immediate feedback from their superiors.
• Testing all candidates using the DISC profile is quite useful both for employees and candidates to know what motivates them.
• Individual contests and constant feedback are what keep turnover rates low. It\u2019s about making them feel like they work in an environment where their superiors care about their success.
