From what I've seen students here like "big brands". So most would pick working at BigCorp "in the first years" (or so they say). They seem to value the stability BigCorp provides and they also assume they'll learn a whole lot at the job. Being a small company means I don't "look" as stable nor as impressive in the CV.

This means that generally students see the 1st job as something transitional. It also means that a big chunk of the CVs I get are from people that didn't/couldn't make it into BigCorp, ie. people I also don't need.

Changing jobs is also a traditional way of getting a raise and I wouldn't want to get into the counter-offer game too early.

But this time I think the problem is the CVs I've been receiving aren't that great, so I am reluctant to invest in training because I'm reluctant to pick any candidate.
