At one point in time, success for the US worker was synonymous with climbing the corporate ladder and paying one’s dues. The common career path included a lifelong commitment with one organization, with sights set on a series of promotions over several decades. Today’s workers, Millennials now the majority, have different ideals about success and many don’t march to the same beat as the generations before them. A recent study asked more than 11,000 job seekers how they define career success and it found that the modern day worker’s notions have evolved.

According to a recent survey of more than 11,000 active and passive job seekers, the definition of success has changed.

No longer are we tied to one company that will take care of us in our retirement or guarantees us a salary increase for being loyal.

Today, modern workers rely on themselves to provide for their futures and with that comes something that might sound irresponsible to those who came before them, but they want to be happy.

Nexxt asked these thousands of job seekers how they define a career and what they are looking to get out of their current or next job.

Typically right before the SHRM Annual Conference we put out a blog post about what you should do while you’re at the conference and what attractions you can’t miss out on in the host city, but as we were putting one together for SHRM 2016 in Washington, DC we realized that we’ve been attending the SHRM Annual Conference for the past ten years! Yeah, that’s a lot.

So we started reminiscing about all the swag we’ve given out over the years, the most expensive giveaway, the cities we’ve visited, and the number of HR Pros we’ve had the pleasure of meeting over the years.

We often talk to recruiters and ask them in which industries they’re having challenges hiring and what it comes down to is they have challenges because they’re limiting their hires to just the United States. And sometimes going outside of the US could be the answer.

We understand that hiring workers around the world sounds overwhelming, but hiring workers around the world might make all the difference for your recruitment program. And recruiters in the United States are not alone; we recently asked the top job boards across the globe to tell us what their biggest hiring challenges are.

We often hear from job seekers that they are constantly getting conflicting job search advice and given that there are tons of resources out there, we’re not surprised. One of the most common complaints we hear is, “How am I supposed to know what employers want?” And we have to hand it to ‘em, it’s an excellent question.

While there’s a surge in hiring, recruiters aren’t any less discriminating than they’ve been in the past. As a matter of fact, a recent survey by Nexxt shows that HR pros are just as thorough as ever when it comes to which candidates they hire.
