Why employers don't want to train fresh German graduates?
Makes no sense
- rcme 3y agoProbably because most new grads suck and have very low skill ceilings.
- nradov 3y agoIt is possible to identify candidates with low skills but high potential who can be trained. But most hiring managers are too lazy and incompetent to do this so instead they take the easy route of filtering based on education and work experience. Back in the early days of computing before it was really taught in most universities, IBM used to hire programming trainees based on the results of an aptitude exam. This worked pretty well and a similar approach could still be used today.
- bratbag 3y agoNo, it's because as soon as they are trained they move on. And an increasing salary doesn't stop that. People want to job hop to build up a diverse experience and no company wants to be the mug that pays an engineer during their bad years so that someone else gets to take advantage of it.
- The_Colonel 3y agoMamy (most?) people would prefer to not have to job hop if the meager slary increases didn't make it almost mandatory. Even then, many people stay because they hate the idea of changing jobs so much.
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoI am - on paper - a new grad, but I am [demonstrably] outperforming not only everyone on my "level" in my org, but most at the level above me. This sector's obsession with YOE as a metric of skill and thinking that nearly every new grad is useless is insulting.
- fsniper 3y agoIsn't it directly related to it's being an investment than to hire staff? You can't expect inexperienced people to do work that an experienced person has to do. So to train means you need to have the main work carried out by an experienced person, you have extra training capacity, and over on this you have funds to hire new graduate to train. You also would not expect a return on this investment quick.
