In their latest report, “A Change of Pace for Gen Z Employees Entering the Workforce,” Glassdoor analyzed their database of company reviews to examine which roles, companies, and cities employees value most. .

Corporate recruiting, which provides Gen Z with the greatest job satisfaction, allows the opportunity to “shape how companies attract and retain talent, including helping to build a diverse and inclusive workforce.”
“For example, corporate recruiters are able to ensure that candidates are sourced from geographic regions that have historically been overlooked and at universities that often don’t receive the same attention as top-tier institutions,” said Glassdoor’s associate economist , Richard Johnson, in Report.
This role was also rated number one among non-Gen Z workers (4.59), with realtor (4.56) and technical account manager (4.56) ranking second and third.
Johnson says these findings also reflect Gen Z’s desire to work at companies with collaborative, inclusive and innovative cultures.
“Entering the workforce during the pandemic has not been easy for Gen Z, but Glassdoor’s data shows that these younger workers are most satisfied in jobs rooted in community and creativity, and especially in content working for companies larger ones that are designed to withstand economic turbulence, Johnson said in a press release.
“This next generation of talent is already shaping the future of work, so employers who want to attract and retain a younger workforce need to consider which jobs, companies and cities are truly satisfying for Gen Z.”
