Abstract: The contemporary working environment is changing fast, partly because of the inflow of younger generation workers, known as millennials. The study focuses on the communication efforts of potential job seekers in our generation on corporate social responsibility and employee culture. Millennials are establishing workplaces where cross-functional and cross-contact may be efficient and successful and provide new skills and values for workplaces and management. The present work adopts signal theory guiding ideas. A fictionalised site with manipulated information on corporate social responsibility and employees' cultural use was done among millennial job seekers from Asia and North America; 147 students aged 19 to 35 years were utilised for this study. The participants were then asked using an online questionnaire to score the organisation's attractiveness. The results of the study demonstrate that knowledge and the culture of the employee expressing social responsibility have a beneficial impact on the organisation's attraction for millennials.
