Companies do not have trouble hiring. They have trouble hiring high experience for entry level pay. They have trouble hiring people who know exactly how to solve their abstract set of requirements on a resume. Your comment embodies the problem. If you expect CS students to have a wide array of specific work experience then you're siphoning experience and not creating any. Companies should be much more concerned with teaching while building. Most of these students can do the work - they simply need an introduction to the specific special environment that company uses. But those companies refuse. Therefore they don't get workers. It's a self created problem. It's also in line with basic market economics. Surplus of hiring candidates means you have more leverage. Another proof is how often big name companies will do diversity hires that are not related to competancy. If there was such demand and competancy required then these would not happen.
