Episode 16

Hiring College Grads & Entry Level Roles

In honor of graduation season, I wanted to talk about hiring recent graduates and entry level roles. These positions are great to consistently have in your business so that new talent is coming through your door and you're constantly training and developing new people who can grow into different roles at your company.

I unpack the job requirements for roles that are designed for people who are at the learning stage in their career, and what to consider when you’re putting together the job description. I explain the benefits to hiring recent graduates and entry level positions, as well as key factors to consider before taking on someone with little or no professional experience. Plus, I share some of the common feedback I hear from young people who are trying to break into the workforce and how you can address their concerns in your hiring plan. 

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

  • How hiring entry level positions can help with your budget 
  • The fresh perspective and can-do attitude that a new professional can add to your business 
  • Creating mentorship and coaching experiences 
  • Tips for interviewing people without a lot of professional experience 
  • The best times of year to position yourself for hiring college graduates 
  • Why a lot people entering the workforce are looking for hybrid work environments

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
