Class of 2026 College Graduate Hiring Report

ResumeTemplates.com survey of 1,000 US hiring managers at companies with 101 or more employees, finding 48 percent would rather invest in AI tools than hire and train a recent graduate, and that entry-level work is being restructured around AI.

Why I recommend it: Read the numbers, not the panic. The takeaway is to show proof of skill early, because employers are hiring more selectively rather than not at all.
