Why are employers choosing robots over fresh graduates

A study by Hult International Business School and Workplace Intelligence reveals that 89% of HR leaders prefer not to hire recent graduates due to skill gaps. The survey included 800 HR leaders and an equal number of recent graduates aged 22 to 27. The majority of employers, 98%, face challenges in finding appropriate talent. Key concerns include a lack of real-world experience (60%), a limited global mindset (57%), and insufficient teamwork skills (55%). Notably, 37% of HR leaders would rather hire AI than recent graduates, and 45% would choose freelancers. Among companies that employed recent graduates, 78% terminated some within a year. Graduates report that work experience outpaces college education, with 77% learning more in six months than over four years of university. Additionally, while 97% of HR leaders value technology skills in AI and data analytics, only 20% of graduates possess these competencies. Experts call for educational programs to evolve and emphasize the development of necessary skills and mindsets for continuous learning.
