Job Opportunities at H&M, Axel Arigato and Simkhai

How to get the most from workers of any age.

In this week's Careers Newsletter, read BoF senior correspondent Sheena Butler-Young's latest: A Greying Workforce Puts Fashion's Youth Obsession to the Test.

Fashion recruiter Karen Harvey has built a decades-long career out of placing talent across some of the industry's most recognisable brands — and there's one area in particular where she sees firms dropping the ball: age.

When Harvey launched her eponymous business consultancy and executive search firm Karen Harvey Consulting Group in 2001, the executive immediately prioritised hiring talent across the age spectrum.

"It wasn't that I was vetting for age," she said. "I wanted incredibly smart people who were coming up in their careers, but wanted to learn as much as they wanted to contribute and have a place at the table."

In effect, Harvey was aiming for generational diversity. Her plan was to leverage her decades of management experience while counting on younger talent to bring their breadth of cultural and social awareness — the kind of stuff that can be gleaned from social activities like visiting nightclubs and trendy restaurants or hobnobbing at late-night fashion events.
