GradStaff was formed in 1998 to address the many inefficiencies associated with transitioning new college grads into the work force. Here are just some of the issues that underscore the problem:
graduation is less than two years. New college grads typically have little knowledge of where their skills, attributes, and education can be applied in the workforce. Without experience to evaluate, employers struggle to identify which candidates will be a fit for their organizations. The traditional spring graduation cycle is becoming less important as more candidates delay their job searches or take more than 4 years to graduate. Employers are increasingly looking to use more “just-in-time” staffing techniques to fill positions all 12 months per year. These and many other issues make entry-level hiring tricky. At GradStaff, we work with three major constituencies – college grads, hiring companies, and college career services – to help this transition be smoother, more successful, and more efficient. For college grads, our goal is to help them identify a career opportunity that will take advantage of their core skills and attributes and coincide with their career interests and goals. In essence, to find a place where they can learn and thrive over the long-term. Learn More For hiring companies, our goal is to help them identify their workforce for the future. Our staffing model is proven to be effective in reducing entry-level turnover and delivering long- term retention. Further, through our outsourced college recruiting model, we are committed to helping our clients implement the most successful, efficient, and cost-effective way to make entry-level hires; regardless of whether hiring needs are local or national or encompass one position per year or hundreds. Cookie-cutter staffing firms cannot compete. http://www.gradstaff.com/ |
