On Recruiting Millennials: The key to increasing recruitment is to dispel stereotypes about what the industry is, and what it is not. I’m a Millennial, and many of my peers were motivated by the promise of profit, and joined the commercial sector only to be disillusioned about how individuals are actually valued within that industry. Millennials want purpose and personalization in the work they do, along with a degree of flexibility to accommodate their lifestyles. Remodeling can satisfy all of those criteria. There is ample room for autonomy, creativity, collaboration, and innovation, and that needs to be incorporated into the broader message of what this industry offers.
