Focus on Financial and Professional Services

Focusing on candidates interested in financial and professional services, the study examines industry preferences, the impact of background on career prospects, and views on workplace diversity and career progression. By incorporating data from previous surveys dating back to 2019, we’ve identified key trends and shifts in attitudes over time.

The findings reveal the unique blend of tech-savviness, values of diversity and inclusivity, and a strong sense of social and environmental responsibility that define Gen Z. As digital natives, this generation’s expectations and motivations are shaped by their experiences in an era of advanced technology and the internet.

Comprehensive Insights for Hiring Managers

This year’s survey, our most comprehensive yet, explores a wide range of issues, including changing priorities in industry sectors, working patterns, and strategies for attraction and retention. The insights gained from this report will help hiring managers understand how to engage and motivate this entrepreneurial and socially conscious cohort, ultimately informing more effective talent strategies. Request your copy of the report here.
