In this article, Hive’s CEO & Founder, Byron Slosar, emphasizes how it’s important to look beyond majors and minors when hiring young talent, look beyond majors and minors. Companies that narrow their criteria are missing out on candidates who can bring unique skill sets and perspectives.

“While majors can be indicators of experience and skill, relying only on majors can unnecessarily limit a firm’s talent pool to an unnecessarily homogenous group.”

"I'm excited to join HSBC as a Corporate and Institutional Banking Intern for Summer 2025! I look forward to contributing to HSBC's global reach and community-oriented culture after discovering my fit through an in-person visit to HSBC's offices with Hive. Since joining Hive, I've been endlessly supported by the platform, from organizing networking opportunities with top employers and receiving personalized resume feedback to facilitating an in-person visit to HSBC's New York office and always being available for contact and support, Hive has been indispensable in my early career journey. Not only has Hive guided me through the practical aspects of recruiting, but they've helped me understand that my unique background and experiences matter. I couldn't have done it without Hive, and recommend it to any and all college students!”

👋 Meet #FlyHire, Mickey Mickle (she/her)! This

👋 Meet #FlyHire, Mickey Mickle (she/her)! This year, she's graduating from @tulaneu and has landed a sweet full-time position at @accenture Federal Services as a Strategy and Consulting Analyst. 🍯 Here's what she had to say about her new role, navigating her career journey as a first-gen student, and how Hive has helped her along the way:

"It has been a dream to work in federal policy but was initiated by the world of government consulting, especially as a person who is underrepresented in this sector. Every experience I have had with an AFS team member has been so welcoming and focused on uplifting candidates and employees (which is hard to come by at their competitors)! I am so excited to be a part of a team committed to innovation and excellence for our federal clients. As a first-generation and low-income college student, it can feel like the job search is inherently designed to work against you, and that opportunities are made to be inaccessible as possible. With hellohive, I have the opportunity to place myself in front of recruiters who otherwise may have overlooked my credentials because I am new to this sector!"
