3 Reasons to Hire Recent Graduates

With the start of summer comes another beginning for many across the country – their first professional job hunt. And, this doesn’t just mean opportunities for recent grads, but also employers. Hiring a recent grad can be good for the bottom line, with the bonus of adding an enthusiastic team member looking to prove themselves.

At Team Red Dog, we provide industry-leading professional staffing solutions in Seattle, Washington. Seeing that Washington state, and namely Seattle, was recently ranked as the number one place millennials are moving to, we know the value of hiring graduates eager to enter their field of focus.

Here are three of our top reasons to hire college grads:

1. Entry-Level Salary

Recent grads are interested in more than just money. Gaining experience and skills that help build their career’s foundation can mean they’ll settle for a lower paycheck than workforce veterans. The lower salaries of entry-level professionals are, more often than not, an ideal business proposition for your operation when looking at your year-end payroll.

2. Ease of Management

Students are much more likely to join an organization, learn their job, and keep their heads down than their steely-eyed counterparts. Students feel less entitled, less established, and less concerned with the overall business operations which lends to their ease of management.

3. Comfort with Technology

Most of today’s students have a familiarity with technology that surpasses all previous generations. The fact that schools and colleges all over the country rely on internet-based applications and tech expertise as a major facet of the learning experience already positions college graduates to better acclimate to the technology in your business.

With more college students graduating than ever before, the hiring pool has never been full of opportunity. You can help your organization by including college graduates in your search for your next employee, regardless of the position. These willing, adaptive, and eager professionals are ready for the chance to demonstrate their abilities and make a difference to your business.
