Daniel indicated that young professionals offer the company a level of energy and creativity that is rarely matched by more experienced candidates. Therefore, he and his colleagues have established partnerships with several universities and colleges in the area to find the best recent graduates.

“Our team has always succeeded on its young energy,” Daniel said. “So we are focusing our hiring efforts on the professionals who will be graduating this May from local universities. We hope that, through our partnerships, we will be able to attract the most talented individuals.”

He added that their training system is set up to educate new team members on all of the aspects of the business, even if they have no experience in marketing. Therefore, the greatest factor in selecting candidates is passion, according to Daniel. He also encouraged any interested individuals to apply via the company’s website application.

5282 Solutions’ Director Examines the Power of Internships

Part of 5282 Solutions’ partnerships with local universities is to offer internships to their students. Daniel asserted that this is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Through these, 5282 Solutions is able to find and test the best that each college has to offer, and the students get the opportunity to gain experience.

“Internships are great ways to find and attract the most talented students,” he said. “We are able to help these young people get some experience and exposure to the marketing industry, while they add to our team’s capacity. Often, we offer full-time positions to our interns after they graduate. Of course, we get to test their abilities before actually hiring them.”

Temp-to-hire arrangements are becoming more common in the job market as well. This is because many organizations want to ensure that their potential hires not only have the skills necessary but will also make a good cultural fit.

“By partnering with universities we have found some really amazing young people,” Daniel stated. “I think that a lot of companies write off young professionals. However, many of our most productive and effective team members joined us immediately out of college. Young people just want a chance to prove themselves. We’re happy to offer that.”
