Strategy Spotlight
What Employers Want from Early Career Talent
Partner Event
Employers are clear on one thing: they’re overwhelmed. Recruiters are seeing more applications than ever, many boosted by AI-generated résumés and cover letters that look polished but don’t always reflect real skills or intent. In this Strategy Spotlight, we’ll share what Forage has heard from employers about what they’re actually looking for in your graduates.
We’ll explore how signals like curiosity, persistence, and genuine interest in a role are rising in importance, and how completing a Forage job simulation can help students stand out. By engaging with real employer-designed tasks, students demonstrate intent toward specific companies and roles, reflect on their fit, and develop the self-awareness that hiring teams say they want to see in interviews and assessments.
You’ll leave with practical ideas for weaving Forage experiences into advising, courses, and co-curricular programs so your students can show up as more confident, better-prepared candidates in a competitive, AI-saturated job market.
