Diferenças geracionais e recrutamento e seleção: um estudo das percepções dos funcionários em uma indústria de moagem de trigo.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the perceptions of different generations regarding the recruitment and selection process in a wheat flour industry. To achieve this, the characteristics of the Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials (Generation Y), and Generation Z were investigated to understand how each generation perceives the practices adopted by the company. The methodology used included semi-structured interviews with managers and employees, analyzing their perceptions of the stages of the selection process. In this way, the company’s current practices were compared to the theoretical framework, with emphasis on Marras' (2016) theories on recruitment and selection. The results revealed that perceptions vary significantly between generations, especially in the stages of feedback, job offer, and onboarding, highlighting the need for adjustments to meet the expectations of each generational group. The research also proposed improvements to recruitment practices, such as the personalization of onboarding and the flexibility of benefits, aiming for a more inclusive work environment aligned with the diverse generational motivations.
