I have a presentation on the theory about Gen. Y, but with this presentation I wanted the companies to experience some simple things that we as Gen Y look at in a different way. Funny and simple examples. Presented by a 24 year old.

1. GENERATION
Recrui'ng & Engaging tomorrow’s talent

2. “The children now love luxury; they
have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for
elders and love chatter in place of
exercise. Children are now tyrants,
not the servants of their households.”
Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

3. Cuba 2011, checking in on
Foursquare while standing on an
abandoned beach. Have to stay
connected.
I’m Marnick, 24 years old and what
do you have to do to attract and
engage my generation…

4. Let’s find a job
Like everybody else we mainly look online

5. And then we get this…
Als VGM-manager volgt u nauwgezet de wetten en regels betreft veiligheid,
gezondheid, milieu, energie en duurzaamheid die van toepassing zijn binnen de
Agristo Groep. U vertaalt deze wetgeving in een concreet VGM-beleid en bent
verantwoordelijk voor de correcte implementatie ervan en dit voor de verschillende
sites. Zowel voor de interne medewerkers als voor externen bent u het
aanspreekpunt op deze domeinen. Daartoe houdt u nauw contact en overlegt u
met de afdelingen en sites om na informatie & sensibilisatie effectief tot actie te
kunnen over gaan. U fungeert als adviseur binnen uw vakgebied en dit naar directie
en de afdelingsverantwoordelijken toe. U staat in voor de defi niëring, opvolging en
rapportering van diverse performantieindicatoren binnen uw vakgebied alsook de
uitvoering van interne audits hieromtrent. U bent verantwoordelijk voor de bijhorende
administratie, zoals jaaractieplan, milieuvergunningen, energieattesten, certifi
caten,... Binnen uw vakgebied zet u continue verbeteringsprocessen op en zoekt u
naar optimalisaties (o.a. energieverbruik,...). Dankzij uw enthousiasme kan u de
afdelingen begeleiden en motiveren tot het behalen van de beoogde targets. U
rapporteert rechtstreeks aan de directie…

7. Still not convinced
Let’s go check the jobsite.. 53% does this right away

8. You promise this in your campaigns

9. On the jobsite we actually get this

10. Don’t be UNIQUE, be AUTHENTIC
in every way…

11. Chief of Client First Impressions
RECEPTIONIST
Senior Director of Animal Output
ZOOKEEPER

12. Just to be sure
Let’s go check out the job fair

13. We don’t come to APPLY for a job. We come to
SELECT an employer. We want an EXPERIENCE
and a BRAND to identify ourselves with.

14. The only thing we get out of this is…

16. Let’s apply
What do we need for that…

18. While we are used to this…

19. The interview
One major ques'on…

20. WHY should I come work for you?
The company across the street offers
the same thing. What is your added value
as an employer?

21. Also hire in function of CULTURE.
“If you don’t like sports, you shouldn’t come work
for us. We need passion, otherwise you shouldn’t
be on the field.”
Steve Forgarty
– Sr. Manager Strategic Recruitment Programs -

22. Alright!! Hired
Let’s see what happens…

23. I just joined an innovative and dynamical
company that recruited me through
social media

25. But at home I’m used to this…
Digital Natives

26. We are Gen WHY
Why should I be in the office at 8:30, when nobody really
starts to work until 10:00?
I have been here 2 months, why am I not getting a raise?
CEO leaves at 17:00, so why should I stay late?
Why am I not moving up faster, I know more than my boss
about some things?
PARTICIPATION
I want to learn from you, but why don’t you accept the fact
that I can also teach you stuff?

27. We don’t want to SCORE immediately like
Gen X, we want to DEVELOP and LEARN.
Like you can learn from us.

28. Example:
Gen Y woman
Task => 3 weeks to put together safety
program and get it accepted by the workfloor
What did she use…
funny names

29. She got it done in 1,5 week
and the work floor loved it.

30. Source: Brian Cassella
We think we are SUPER, but…

31. We can’t handle failure, same with Gen Z 

32. GENERATION The future of your workfloor
I’m Marnick, 24 years old
and you can find me on
or at
