Large majority of grads are actively seeking employment, have been recruited, and have already had 9 job interviews
SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ZipRecruiter®, a leading online employment marketplace, today released its second annual grad report, The Class of 2023: A Story of Resilience, revealing that more than two-thirds of the graduating class feel they are very prepared (69%) for the current labor market. The majority of graduates (92%) started actively applying for jobs as of early April and 85% said they have already been recruited. With an average of nine job interviews under their belts, they are well on their way to success in the job market.
“The way companies work is changing at a blistering pace. In this dynamic environment, employers are putting a premium on trainability and soft skills,” said Ian Siegel, ZipRecruiter Co-Founder and CEO. “New grads are well positioned to succeed in the first step of their professional lives as they look ahead to a career defined by continuous learning. Setting any short-term macroeconomic uncertainty aside, the optimism new graduates feel about their career prospects is well founded.”
While the Class of 2023 began their college careers during the pandemic, they overcame many obstacles and forged ahead to graduation. More than one in five (21%) said that the pandemic led them to study science, healthcare, or public health. As graduation approaches and uncertainty in the labor market increases, grads continue to adapt with the numbers showing resilience. 70% of graduating seniors say they plan to have a full-time job in the coming year. As the graduating class launches into the next chapter of their life, graduates plan to offset current inflation by taking on a ‘side hustle’ (9 in 10 grads), moving to a more economically friendly city, living with their families, or finding a roommate.
“In an economy defined by a constant drumbeat of disruptive innovations, new graduates are less likely to have predictable and linear careers. Embracing change and remaining open to new opportunities is critical in the near term labor market,” added Siegel.
