Abstract<br />

Different generations have dist<strong>in</strong>ct communication preferences <strong>in</strong> terms of<br />

frequency, style, speed, and channels (Edwards, 2020). Therefore, employers<br />

of multiple generations need to consider which methods to apply to reach<br />

and <strong>in</strong>form them. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to Dixon et al. (2013), there are currently four<br />

generations coexist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the labor market: Baby Boomers (1946-1964),<br />

Generation X (1965-1980), Millennials (1981-1996), and Generation Z (1997-<br />

2012). Add<strong>in</strong>g to it, previous studies have noted that each group has unique<br />

communication preferences (Downs, 2019), and the COVID-19 pandemic has<br />

brought about changes <strong>in</strong> work<strong>in</strong>g culture, lead<strong>in</strong>g to shifts <strong>in</strong> communicative<br />

practices and expectations (de Lucas Ancillo et al., 2020).<br />

Hence, this research <strong>in</strong>vestigates how Generation Z perceives communication<br />

strategies from companies <strong>in</strong> Hungary shared on social media for employer<br />

brand<strong>in</strong>g and what they expect from their prospective workplaces. From a<br />

methodological perspective, the study applies six focus group <strong>in</strong>terviews<br />
