Scott Coleman is the Atlantic Managing Director at Optimum Talent, which offers full-service human resources to help “organizations succeed through people.” Increasingly, those people are millennials. “We’re at a pretty fascinating time when it comes to age-related demographics in the workforce.

When it comes to recruiting younger workers, “fully tech-enabled organizations will certainly outpace the laggard organization to recruit and retain top talent.”
