College students struggle to acquire appropriate career opportunities upon graduation. This study explores data collected from hiring managers about the entry-level employment process including information about the time and the costs associated with locating a new hire. The contents within highlight specific recommendations and implications including new opportunities, such as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) like IBM's Watson.  The use of AI in the new hire process may improve opportunities by cutting costs, eliminating redundancy, improving accuracy, and reducing time commitments. This research also supports the need for a networked workforce and higher education system in Pennsylvania. These solutions could help to reduce society's dependence on job boards; which offer students little hope of finding a job and might be considered an invasion of privacy.
