Should Companies Hire More of Gen Zs over Folks with Tons of Experience?

Gen Z is totally dominating social media right now. From TikTok blowing up to their non-stop content and engagement on other platforms, it’s clear they’ve got social media on lock.

MeltWater says there are almost 5 billion social media users out there, which is more than 61% of the global population. A big part of this surge? Yup, you guessed it—Gen Z.

The number of social media users has steadily increased over the last two years.

So, here’s the tea: with Gen Z making such a huge impact on social media, should companies be hiring more Gen Z peeps instead of just going for folks with tons of experience?

Gen Z makes up the bulk of the population today, so it’s kind of difficult not to employ them for jobs. but for this question. I am kinda centric on this because this experience we say differs per person. most of these experienced personnel understand “work hard” and might not be able to cope with the “work smart” that this present work landscape might require. but it’s just my opinion though.
