Challenges come heavy in the world of hiring. Job postings flood inboxes with hundreds of applicants. But here’s the thing: thousands of resumes don’t equal the right hire. At NYC-Pros, we cracked the code. Instead of sifting through mountains of resumes, we zero in on the perfect fit—those rare candidates who actually move the needle.
​
Finding good talent has become a needle-in-a-haystack game. We’re proud that over 50 of our students are recent NYU grads or alumni. And get this: NYU accepts only about 13% of their applicants. These aren’t just students—they’re the cream of the crop.
Here’s a stat that stops you in your tracks: Business Insider found that up to 90% of applicants don’t even show up for scheduled interviews. It’s not just about skills anymore; it’s about commitment. Our students? They’re the opposite. They go to bed early, ready to seize the next day.
​
There’s a stereotype—maybe you’ve heard it—that Ivy League MBA students come with an “attitude problem.” One story tells of a candidate who, when asked if they could work Saturday, said, “Sorry, there’s a polo game that day.” Our students flip the script. Friday night isn’t for parties; it’s for preparation. The answer is simple: “I’ll get a good night’s sleep so I’m at my best on Saturday.”
​
Another challenge? Many students shy away from working in person. Our students don’t. They’re ready to go In Person, remote, hybrid—whatever the job demands.
And while most students want to stay put in NYC, ours are ready to travel—across the U.S., even abroad.
​
Turnover? It’s a revolving door for many companies, with rates over 60%. Our students stay put, anchored in place partly because of restrictions that keep turnover low.
Here’s where it gets interesting: outsourcing firms can slap on markups of up to 100%. We skip the middleman. Companies that hire our students directly pay no fees to us—our services come free.
​
And unlike some agencies that charge for up to three months before you can hire someone full-time, we charge absolutely nothing. Our goal is straightforward: help companies offer real, full-time jobs to our students.
