By 2030, Generation Z will make up 30 percent of Canada’s workers. Plus, 86 percent of customers now prioritize experience over price. Old hiring methods, like sorting through endless resumes, are too slow and costly for busy seasons. At Canada Prime Jobs (CPJ), we use cutting-edge tech to connect you with skilled, job-ready candidates in minutes. These five tech hacks will help you build a stellar call centre team that’s fast, Gen Z-ready, and customer-focused.

1. Find Top Agents Fast with Smart Portals

Empty roles during peak seasons can hurt your profits. CPJ’s employer portal solves this by letting you find candidates with key skills, like fast typing or bilingual fluency, in just few minutes.

However, finding agents is only the first step; attracting the right talent is next. You as an employer, will get the end product, of agents who are ready to work and service your business, whether your business operates in Canada, USA , Europe, Australia etc. The agents are top-tier able to forge relationship with ease.

2. Attract Generation Z with Digital Job Ads

Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, wants jobs that match their values. Traditional job postings fail to capture the interest of Gen Z. CPJ uses digital tools like targeted ads on Instagram, where 54 percent of employers recruited in 2023, according to a Jobvite study. We test candidates for skills like adaptability and emotional intelligence to ensure they thrive in fast-paced call centres. This approach builds a pipeline of motivated Gen Z agents, helping you create a lively, future-ready team. That’s just the beginning; ensuring long-term customer satisfaction is the next challenge.

3. Hire Agents Who Keep Customers Happy with Skill Tests

Poor service turns customers away faster than you think. Great customer experience (CX), how clients feel about your brand, relies on agents with strong communication and stress-handling skills to assess qualified leads and make them customers. CPJ’s digital skill tests check English proficiency, teamwork, and tech know-how and also people’s skill so you hire agents who deliver. These tests predict job success five times better than degrees, boosting customer retention by 20 percent, according to a 2024 HiringBranch study. With 67 percent of big firms using ATS for skill screening, per a 2025 Korn Ferry report, our approach ensures you get agents who keep customers smiling. Now that you’ve hired them, how do you get them ready fast?

New hires, especially Gen Z, need training that gets them going quickly. Slow onboarding drags everyone down. CPJ offers online training courses on customer service and stress management, preparing agents to start strong. Our programs cut onboarding time and boost retention by 20 percent, per a 2025 Korn Ferry report noting upskilling keeps 67 percent of workers longer. This training helps Gen Z deliver stellar CX, keeping your customers and team happy. However, building a team that stays long-term is the final piece.
