STAFFING SMART SERIES: POST 4 OF 6
Success factor #3: Give millennials career advancement opportunities
In our last few posts, we shared some of the insights we’ve gained into attracting millennials to hard-to-staff industries.

Success factor #1: Creating an exciting work experience for millennials
In our last post, we talked about hiring underemployed millennials in place of temporary foreign workers. Since the Temporary Foreign Worker Program changed, looking within Canada has become the first, best option for filling labour shortages across the country. But millennials think differently – and require a different approach to capture their interest. So how do we attract this elusive group? We hit the road to figure it out.
Replacing Temporary Foreign Worker Program staff with millennials
STAFFING SMART SERIES: POST 1 OF 6
Changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program have effectively shut down international recruitment for the hospitality, tourism and restaurant industries.
