Applicant pool about to get a lot bigger
Here’s good news for companies doing any hiring over the next few months: A new crop of eager entry-level talent will soon be available, without much competition from other employers.
That’s right, it’s almost time for college graduations. And the job market will be a lot tougher on grads than in previous years.
Just 43% of employers have any plans to hire recent graduates in 2009, according to a recent CareerBuilder survey. That’s down from 56% last year.
Also, 21% said they’ll be offering lower pay to entry-level hires. At most other companies (68%), those salaries will remain flat, and just 11% plan on an increase.
Bottom line: Employers have an opportunity to grab entry-level employers at a lower cost and with a better chance of landing the best hires.
