In a podcast episode, Rothberg discusses the challenges of hiring early career professionals in a competitive market, the importance of leveraging different recruitment capabilities to improve ROI, and the outlook for college recruiting in 2023. Rothberg emphasizes that companies looking to hire entry-level employees will face stiff competition from employers like FedEx, who are hiring similar candidates for warehouse work at higher rates. The conversation then shifts to early career hiring and strategies for maximizing return on investment in college recruiting. Rothberg suggests that CEOs should plan for a highly competitive job market and focus on attracting top talent by offering good roles, pay, and organizational culture. The job market outlook for 2023 is positive, with twice as many job openings as candidates looking for jobs. However, there are still challenges in certain sectors and metro areas, such as the tech sector in San Francisco. College Recruiter primarily caters to Fortune 1000 companies, government agencies, and other high-growth employers. The company has expanded its services to more than 13 million candidates globally. Jeff and Steven's conversation continues with a discussion on the importance of speed in the recruitment process, with the prevailing wage being a crucial factor in attracting talent. They also touched on the issue of the company name, with some advocating for a change to reflect the focus on early career recruitment. The use of innovative technologies like AI and chatbots to create engaging and fast candidate experiences was also mentioned as a trend in the marketplace. ✅ For more information, visit: https://collegerecruiter.com/ ✅Connect with Steven on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenrothberg --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔔 Subscribe To Channel for the latest podcasts on growing your business & getting expert advice on solving problems https://www.youtube.com/@JKLAdvisors ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Podcast is currently on your favorite platforms: 👉Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1659743511 👉Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4RgF6I69FdiDzBgTLzZlWH 👉iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-growing-your-business-with-108104719/ 👉Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/dbf81855-67a9-4500-bdec-c45ace015170 ✅ Stay Connected With Us. 👉JKL Advisors: https://jkladvisors.ai/ 👉LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grow... 👉Future Solve: https://www.futuresolve.com/ 👉Paradox: https://www.paradox.ai/ 👉Sevenstep: https://www.sevensteprpo.com/ ✅ For Business Inquiries: jeff@jkladvisors.ai
