How do new grads find jobs these days ? I used Linkedin, angellist, indeed, hired and also applied on company websites to find jobs 5 years back. It was still very difficult to land in spite of using the above platforms. Are there any better/interesting sites ?
Why wouldn't it be difficult? New grad is the most saturated.
At the end of the day they still find a job but with a lot of hustle. I am trying to figure out if there’s a solution already that alleviates the pain for new grads. If not, I am trying to build a solution.
If you're trying to help new grads get hired focus on interview/resume prep. Look at all the sites popping up claiming to do that. If you're trying to help recruiters make better decisions that's a whole different story. Also possibly could make a "referral network" of sorts. You pay some fee, maybe $15-100 for a referral to certain companies. It will eventually diminish the value of referrals but until then new grads will have their pain alleviated.
University career fair or internship conversion. Most people I graduated with found jobs this way.
why not use alumni network?
Yes, that’s another way. Although, It’s not for me. I am just curious if there’s any hiring marketplace exclusively for new grads.
