  • Job market for 2025 grads expected to be massively better

    Job market for 2025 grads expected to be massively better
    Feb 4 2025
    There's no doubt that the red-hot job market of 2022 cooled off in 2023 and didn't fully recover in 2024. In some sectors, the job market in 2023 and 2024 was, at best, frustrating to candidates. A recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers forecasts a 7.3 percent increase in hiring for the Class of 2025, driven by economic recovery, and increased competition for talent, especially in tech, healthcare, and data analytics. The survey also revealed a growing emphasis on diversity and inclusion, which runs counter to what many media outlets are reporting. Graduating students should focus on skill development, relevant experience, and networking to stand out in the competitive job market. Employers should create inclusive workplaces, offer competitive compensation and benefits, and support career growth to attract and retain top graduates. Overall, our co-hosts are optimistic about the job market but also call on both students and employers to be proactive and strategic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Why employer authentication is becoming more important than authenticity

    Why employer authentication is becoming more important than authenticity
    Jan 28 2025
    College Recruiter publishes several podcasts, one of which is the From Dorms to Desks Podcast. Listeners are mostly students, recent graduates, and other candidates who are early in their careers. Another is the High Volume Hiring Podcast, which is co-hosted by Jeanette Leeds and College Recruiter's founder, Steven Rothberg. A recent episode featured career expert, J.T. O'Donnell, and focused on employer authentication is paramount for job seekers, even more so than an employer's perceived authenticity. In this episode of From Dorms to Desks, our cohosts emphasize the increasing importance of verifiable employer credentials. Employer verification is becoming increasingly important to ensure job seekers' safety and to avoid fraudulent job postings. But more important does not mean that it is the only matter that is important. Other matters are important too, such as authenticity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • How the Industrial Revolution continues to drive employers toward hiring for soft skills

    How the Industrial Revolution continues to drive employers toward hiring for soft skills
    Jan 21 2025
    For millions of years, which is as long as there have been people, those people have worked together to accomplish tasks that could not be done individually, or could not be done nearly as efficiently or effectively. But a couple of hundred years ago, employment started to change. The dawn of the Industrial Revolution meant the creation of factories, and factories meant that employers suddenly needed to hire dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people a year. No longer could employers rely on hiring family and friends. Instead, they needed to hire people they didn't know, and that meant that employers started to assess the likely ability of potential hires to do the work. As most of that employment was in factories or on farms, employers placed great value on hard skills such as ability to lift heavy objects, operate certain kinds of machinery, or the attainment of a Bachelor's degree. Recent articles from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and College Recruiter reveal that employers now prioritize soft- over hard-skills, so they care more about problem-solving and teamwork skills in entry-level candidates. Unlike previous years, GPA is significantly less important, with only 35 percent of employers in 2024 considering it a hiring factor. Instead, soft skills such as demonstrated abilities in problem-solving, teamwork, work ethic, and communication are highly valued. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
