As recruiters, it's crucial to stay up-to-date with the current job market and how it's affecting the talent pool. Recently, a CNBC article caught my attention regarding the college hiring outlook. The article highlights that while the overall outlook is positive, some employers are cutting back on new college graduate hires, and salaries may fall short of expectations. However, even as the job market cools for soon-to-be grads, job seekers are becoming more selective in their searches. According to one report, many young adults only want jobs with at least some remote flexibility. As a new graduate, it's essential to keep these points in mind. Are you willing to take an onsite position to get your career started? Are you willing to accept a lower salary to set yourself up for long-term success? Unfortunately, my experience has been that most new graduates aren't willing to make these sacrifices and would instead rather remain unemployed until they land their "dream job."

'According to a recent survey conducted by Robert Half, demand for entry-level professionals is strongest among administrative and customer support roles, followed by the legal, marketing, human resources, technology and finance sectors.

Mr. Shekhtman advises new grads to beef up their online profiles, practice their interview responses, pursue networking opportunities and spend more time researching prospective employers in the face of more challenging market conditions.' Excellent insights into the state of the job market for new grads right now, with tips from Mike Shekhtman and data from Robert Half's latest survey.

"Companies are hiring fewer new graduates and many are rethinking their entry-level hiring needs, the Wall Street Journal reported this month. Employers plan to hire 5.8% fewer grads than they did last year, according to an April survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. It complicates the landscape for young college graduates and other entry-level jobseekers, the most recent of whom are joining an especially turbulent job market." #jobs #careers #recruitment #hiring #collegesanduniversities

Interesting trend taking place... Recent study found 1 in 3 companies are dropping the requirement for a college degree for many of their salaried positions. I wonder: - Is this a sign of things to come? - Could this be beneficial for both employers and job seekers? - What does this mean for the value of traditional education? As someone who works closely with both hiring managers and job seekers, I'm curious about your thoughts. Do you think this trend will continue? Is it a positive move towards a more skills-based hiring approach, or are there potential downsides we're overlooking? Interested hearing your thoughts.👇 #recruitment #hiringtrends #skillsoverdegrees #jobmarket

Employers finally answered their own wake-up call! It was only a matter of time for employers to find ways to fill certain jobs that do not (ok never) require a 4-year degree. It’s long overdue! Drumroll please… Some of those jobs can lead to 6 figure compensation! In 2023, 55% of companies removed degree requirements, particularly for entry-level and mid-level roles. Employers said they dropped these requirements to create a more diverse workforce, increase the number of applicants for open positions, and because there are other ways to gain skills. #onthejoblearning #skillsbasedhiring
