• It’s time for college seniors to start figuring out their plans for next year.
• LinkedIn compiled a list of the companies that grads tend to flock to in 2017.
• Some big name companies like Amazon, Oracle, and EY made the list.
It’s that time of year again.
Most college seniors have embarked on their second semester, which means post-grad plans are getting finalized. But if you’re still looking for a grad-friendly place to apply, LinkedIn compiled a helpful list of the organizations that hired the most recent graduates in 2017.
The list was compiled by taking into account all LinkedIn users who graduated from a US college with a bachelor’s degree in 2017. These members were incorporated in the survey if they added a new company to the experience section of their profile after graduation.
