Interviewing for remote jobs is a very different experience than the traditional in-person job interview.

In this webinar, FlexJobs will guide viewers through each aspect of remote job interviewing, teaching you what to expect, how to prepare, which questions you might be asked, and how to practice.

What Different Generations Expect from the Candidate Experience
2026-07-15 12:00 - 13:00
Gen Z. Millennials. Gen X. Baby Boomers. Same hiring market. Completely different expectations.
Backed by data from the 2026 Job Seeker Nation Report, this webinar breaks down the generational trends influencing today’s workforce—and what candidates across every generation actually want from employers.
Webinar Overview:
Gen Z is turning down offers at the highest rates. Baby Boomers are the most skeptical of employers’ reliance on AI. Millennials and Gen X? They’re bringing their own expectations, frustrations, and hiring dealbreakers to the table, too.
The reality is today’s hiring experience isn’t landing the same way across generations—and employers relying on one-size-fits-all strategies are increasingly at risk of missing the mark altogether.
In this session, we’ll break down five key areas where generations are experiencing hiring differently—from AI and communication to flexibility and trust. Backed by data from the 2026 Job Seeker Nation Report, we’ll explore what different generations actually want from employers, where hiring teams are missing the mark, and what they can do to build a hiring experience candidates across generations actually want to say yes to.
What You’ll Learn:

How Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers differ when it comes to AI, communication, flexibility, and candidate expectations.

Why one-size-fits-all hiring experiences are increasingly falling flat with candidates across generations.

The hiring habits, expectations, and dealbreakers shaping candidate decisions in 2026.
How TA teams can adapt their hiring approach to better connect with a multi-generational talent pool.
