Companies are finding it increasingly difficult to attract young talent &#8211; traditional job advertisements no longer work. But what really matters?  <\/p>\n\n<p>In this episode of <strong>Einwand:Los<\/strong>, <strong>Karl Heinz Lorenz<\/strong> talks to <strong>Mathis Abendroth<\/strong>, student and expert in personal branding, employer branding and corporate influencing. Together, they explore the question of what Gen Z expects from employers, what mistakes companies make in recruiting and why social media is the most important tool in the war for talent today. Mathis shares his own experiences with employers such as SRH and SAP &#8211; open, direct and unembellished.  <\/p>\n\n<p>They also take a look into the future: how will the world of work change with the next generation, the alphas? And what can companies do today to remain attractive in the long term? An honest conversation with Karl Heinz Lorenz and Mathis Abendroth &#8211; full of practical insights, clear opinions and valuable ideas for companies!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it worth all the effort to inspire Generation Z, or is it a battle against windmills?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8145,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[107],"class_list":["post-8144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcasts","tag-personality"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gen Z at work: lazy or just smart?
