New grad hiring

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 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.

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.
