RECRUITMENT

Bias in recruitment
The Language used
A lot of job descriptions contain words that
older people don’t identify with.
Think of words like "energetic" and "vibrant."
These might give older workers the impression
that you are looking for someone younger.
The Experience asked
Should describe in neutral terms the kind
of experience you’re looking for.
Refrain from using numbers. Listing a maximum
number of years of experience will discourage
older people from applying.
Bias in recruitment
The necessary qualifications
Only list the qualifications that are absolutely
necessary for the job.
We often see "graduate" listed as a criteria.
This might give older workers the impression
the job is not meant for them.
The application process
This can feel tailored towards workers aged
20 to 40 and older workers feel unsure about
their chances.
The standard two-sided CV which talks about
regular employment and career trajectory
does not enable applicants to nuance their career
experience.

WHAT DO EARLY
RETIREES THINK?
Q: HAVE YOU CONSIDERED
RETURNING TO WORK?
WE SURVEYED 150 RETIRED
INDIVIDUALS AGED 50-64
Why have you
considered returning?
Bored at
home
To earn
money, to get
more company,
to give structure
to my week.
I like to mix
with people and
feel I'm being
useful
The extra cash
would be handy
So much left to
contribute...
What barriers do you
think you might face?
Caring for
elderly parent
with health issues
Lack of
flexibility to
take time off
when I want to
do what I
want
I have
concerns that
there may be
technology I am
unfamiliar
with
Dealing with
woke attitudes in
the workplace
Being physically
capable
Flexibility to determine my own
working hours and days
A workplace that I can travel to quickly
Work that is intellectually stimulating or fun
A job that let's me meet new people
or socialise with colleagues
Work that offers a strong sense of purpose,
such as helping those in need or the community
The ability to work from my
home most or all of the time
The opportunity to
learn new skills
A good benefits package
