‘Gen Z knows reels, not real math…’: Bengaluru-based CEO flags hiring gaps as only 2 solve Class 5 sum

Ashish Gupta, Chief Executive Director of Bengaluru, caused a debate on LinkedIn, if genuinely monitoring the main social media skills, lack of basic problems and lack of financial literacy.

“Genels knows reels, but not real mathematics.”

Sharing his latest university’s rental experience, Gupta told the famous institution to recruit fresh graduates from BBA and BCA. Interacting more than 50 students, he caused a simple lesson 5 mathematical question.

Only two students answered correctly, and the rest was struggling to solve it. However, when they ask how they marketed the product, Gupta found that they had ideas about Instagram Reels, viral content and digital trends.

Gupta noted that this reveals the stark truth Z is a strict skill to navigate social media, but has no main justification and financial literacy. He warned that if this imbalance continues, it can leave a whole generation of vulnerable personal finances, decision-making and analytical challenges.

Gupta’s concerns coincide with the growing research body, emphasizing the struggle of employers onboard Gen Z talent. The study shows that 60% of US companies have to rent at least one gene Z soon, and three quarters of companies say that only a few of their gangs live expectations.

Conscripts are divided into Gen Z only 25 percent of US recruiters want to hire them, while 17 percent remain fluctuating or openly reluctant. The challenge, as Gupta indirectly reflects, exceeds outdated thinking and points out the basic shutdown between the requirements of Gen Z’s approach and traditional job requirements.

Employers report different concerns, including the feeling of right to GEN Z employees, 65% of employers who attach importance to the main problem. Fifty-five percent said Gen Z has feedback, as personal criticism, growth and adaptability. Half of employers questioned the work ethic of recruits in Gen Z recruits, and 45% indicate a lack of motivation and difficulty in response to a constructive response. Forty percent say that gene z often lack professionalism and is not ready for full-time work.

On August 2024, a smart. COM research collects ideas from 966 senior business leaders involved in the entire US. These leaders, full 25, with significant professional experience and elders, stressed that before Gen Z brings creative prospects, their willingness to real world remains suspicious.
