Karat’s skill-focused hiring solution comes at a critical time for organizations looking to bolster their engineering capabilities with the emergence of generative AI. The solution allows talent and engineering leaders to cast a wider net for the skills they need, moving beyond the traditional view of university recruiting at a small subset of schools to reach more candidates with fewer resources.
“Great talent can come from anywhere,” said Scott Bonneau, Executive Vice President of Product and Operations at Karat. “The leaders who can quickly reach the most candidates and offer a seamless experience from application to offer have a significant advantage. It’s our hope that this report and solution will help organizations prioritize their technical recruiting investments to reach more of the right candidates in the right places around the world.”
The 2024 best schools report analyzes interview and hiring outcomes from thousands of candidates across more than thirty countries. U.S. schools shined in this year’s rankings, making up 32 of the top 50 worldwide. India had the second most top 50 schools with 5, followed by China and Canada with 4 each.
In addition to interview performance, the research looks at the total volume of computer science students in each program, average starting compensation for new grads, and close rates (i.e. the percentage of candidates who accept job offers) from each school to provide users with a comprehensive view across each talent pool.
“Twenty years ago, companies that wanted to bring in early career talent were limited by time and resources to focus on only a small number of schools, and would often target the schools with the most highly ranked Computer Science programs,” added Bonneau. “Today, we’re seeing talent coming from more sources than ever, including 4 year programs, 2 year programs, boot camps, and self-taught backgrounds. The Karat early career solution seeks to give candidates from all backgrounds an opportunity to show off what they know and what they can do, while giving heads of talent acquisition the ability to dramatically expand the surface area of their search for talent.”
