It’s always refreshing to watch as your team evolves with the introduction of new ideas, mindsets, and perspectives. If you’re planning to grow your team with the addition of recent graduates, there is much to consider.

While interviewing the fresh faces of the working world, your conversations should include, however also extend beyond, specific details of the job and real-world experience. You can’t expect a recent college graduate with little industry experience to have every hard skill the job entails. It’s important to look at the person as a whole and to identify their soft skills. As long as he/she is eager to grow and take on a challenge, the hard skills can be learned.

There are many other factors to consider prior to hiring a new grad, including developing opportunities for growth, providing diverse pathways, and gathering feedback from your current employees.
