dcterms.abstractRecruiting Generation Z IT professionals (born between the mid-1990s and the early 2010s) presents unique challenges for organizations in the fast-paced digital era. This paper employs a cluster analysis approach to gain insights into Generation Z IT professionals’ employer and workplace expectations, enabling organizations to develop targeted strategies for effective digital talent attraction and employment. Analyzing the expectations of 370 current IT students, we highlight three distinct clusters within the sample: Success-Driven Prestige Seekers, Challenge-Driven Autonomy Seekers, and Money-Driven Security Seekers. We show how each cluster prefers different employer and workplace characteristics and illustrate paths for organizations to tailor their recruitment strategies for each cluster. This paper contributes valuable insights into the preferences and motivations of Generation Z IT professionals and provides practical recommendations for organizations seeking to build a talented, digital workforce by integrating Generation Z IT professionals.
