Eager To Learn: Young Professionals are often keener to learn new transferrable skills, which is different for senior working professionals. With startups, because everything is unique, it is more time-intensive and requires defined training to set things in place. Usually, any senior working professionals get frustrated during the process and quit. Whereas a junior employee doesn’t mind training period and is willing to learn, unlearn or relearn new skills.
Cost Effective: Freshers or Junior professionals are way more inexpensive as assets to startups than a senior. They are strongly committed to their work and aim to showcase their talent to top management to prove their mettle, irrespective of small CTC. Startups are usually termed risky ventures in the market, as not all succeed—all the more reason why they prefer junior professionals due to budget or fund constraints.
Shrinks The Attrition Rate: The value of an opportunity is a feeling that cannot be expressed in words but reflected in actions. Ordinarily, employees with less experience often respect the opportunity and tend to stick with the firm no matter its profit percentage. This diminishes the startup’s overall attrition rate and contributes to company growth. On the contrary, a senior professional with various job offers might opt out of the firm if they are unhappy regarding something.
Multitasking: Working productively in various departments simultaneously is a skill. With a nichesetup like that in startups, it’s theneed of the hour. Being a junior, one can handle various responsibilities by focusing on one and keeping track of others, as there’s no ego involved. However, no senior professional would ideally be okay with multitasking, as they mostly feel overburdened with work in their dedicated department only.
Creative Minds: Young professionals bring strong theoretical knowledge and want to test that in the real world. This new perspective and plethora of fresh ideas often support startups in many ways, ensuring smooth functioning. They are also abreast with the latest technology, which can help to advance software/operations in any organization.
