Many businesses that recruit young college graduates have begun to involve their parents in the recruiting and orientation process.

Do not be shocked when your young employees consult their parents when they need advice or when they seem more like 18-year-olds than 22-year-olds. By Boomer and GenX standards, they basically are.
