Early-career hiring: what 271 HR and TA leaders told us
Kyle & Co's CoderPad-sponsored survey reveals a gap between what employers value in early-career candidates and what they actually assess.
AI can polish an application in seconds, but an application alone cannot show you how a candidate learns, adapts, or handles a mistake.
Inside the report:
- 93% agree that nearly every role now carries a technical skill requirement, not just engineering roles
- 87% agree that underlying skill and judgment matter more than AI tool fluency, yet judgment ranks near the bottom of what employers screen for
- 1 in 3 hire early-career candidates without anyone watching them do the work before an offer
