Comment on: Blog Post 'Recruiting the Misunderstood Part One : Understanding Gen Y': up, my work experiences, my overall temperament, etc. I believe that by and large, generation cohort "lumping" is a mixture of pop-sociology and stereotyping. You can get much better information by using Zip+4-level psychographic work (Claritas PRIZM, Experian Mosaic, etc.): since you CAN tell a lot about a person by where they live. As far as sourcing people of Gen X differently from Gen Y: I don't try and categorize potential candidates that way. I typically need to get people quickly, so I can't take a great deal of time researching who the "whole person" is- my main questions are can they do the job, do they want to do the job, and are they available now? If this were 1930s Cambridge, England and I had a long-term goal of recruiting spies for the Soviet Union, I'd need to take a longer view, but it's 2013 in San Francisco, and I need quality butts in chairs RIGHT NOW. As for your final question: I think it's important to find out whatever means is effective in reaching whichever group of people you're trying to reach within the constraints of what you're trying to do. For example, people my daughter's age (17) typically don't use email, so if I were trying to reach them, I might need to try something else- she's on Tumblr a lot, for example. On the other hand, the means of reaching people for one thing may not translate over into another realm- Tumblr or Reddit might be good for reaching young people for social things, but terrible for reaching about jobs which need to be filled. Finally, anything which is used too much loses its competitive advantage- if everybody is using Pinterest to try and get people, it won't be long before it’s no longer very useful to get people....Fundamentally, if you find something that works to find and get the people you need: USE IT AND DON’T TELL EVERYBODY!
