Seg. 1: Recruiting Gen Z | Seg. 2: Fireflies

Segment 1: What changing recruitment techniques say about our changing culture.

Move over, millennials. The new new workforce is going to be made up of Generation Z, born in or after 1997. The incentives and benefits packages being offered to new recruits by major companies already reflect that generation's needs and values.

Segment 2: Everything you need to know about fireflies.
