Today, we’re diving into what the next generation of talent actually wants from work - and what employers can do about it. Adam Jacobs, Co-founder and CEO of Hatch, returns to Change Happens to unpack fresh insights from Hatch’s latest Hotlist research: why ’security‘ is the headline for 2025, how Gen Z views AI as an accelerant (not a threat), and the practical shifts organisations can make to attract, grow and keep early-career talent.
In this episode, Adam shares:
- Why saying “here’s our take on AI today” beats dodging the question, especially for junior roles.
- Side hustles - and why employers should embrace them.
- The big mismatches to fix: vague growth paths, hidden pay, fear-driven AI talk.
- How to put people back in hiring by using AI to reach the human conversation faster and reduce ghosting.
