KATAPULT WEDNESDAY WIN: WE’RE SHARING OUR SECRET SAUCE!!!

Our success placing recent college graduates into BDR and SDR roles doesn’t come from finding candidates who already have sales experience.

It comes from knowing how to recognize future sales talent.

Here are the qualities we look for—and the transferable experiences that often reveal them:

- Confidence
Public speaking, giving presentations, interviewing, networking, performing, or working directly with customers.

- Entrepreneurial Spirit
Starting a side hustle, organizing an event, leading a student group, fundraising, or finding a creative way to solve a problem.

- Competitive Drive
Playing sports, competing academically, working toward measurable goals, or simply demonstrating a strong desire to improve and win.

- Grit and Resilience
Balancing school with a job, overcoming setbacks, competing for playing time, working through rejection, or sticking with something when it became difficult.

- Team-first mentality
Participating in athletics, group projects, clubs, volunteer organizations, or any environment where individual success depends on the success of the team.

- Relationship-Building skills
Experience in hospitality, retail, customer service, fundraising, recruiting, coaching, or campus leadership—any role that requires earning trust and connecting with different personalities.

- Coachability
Taking feedback, making adjustments, learning from mistakes, and showing measurable improvement.

That’s the real secret sauce: stop looking only for someone who has already done the job and start identifying the experiences and characteristics that show they can succeed in it.

When you learn how to recognize transferable skills, you open the door to a much larger and often much stronger pool of future sales talent.

That approach has worked for Katapult and the companies we serve. It can help you hire the right people, too.

AI is changing the work but recent graduates will change the workforce.

Right now, companies are investing millions in AI, automation and the technology of tomorrow.

But here’s the question no one seems to be asking: Who are you developing to lead that future?

Technology can improve productivity, but it can’t build your leadership pipeline, develop your next great manager or replace the need for curious, adaptable people.

The workforce of 2030 is being hired right now.

Forward-thinking companies aren’t waiting to compete for expensive, experienced talent. They’re identifying high-potential graduates, developing them internally and building the next generation of their workforce today.

At Katapult, we interview more than 2,000 recent graduates every year. We help companies look beyond the résumé, identify real potential and evaluate performance through our six-month Career-to-Launch program.

You don’t have to predict whether someone will succeed.

You can watch them prove it.

Your next competitive advantage may have just graduated.

What are today’s recent grads looking for in their first job? And what are employers looking for from them?

Turns out, there’s a lot of overlap.

The best entry-level hires happen when both sides understand what the other is looking for.

That’s where Katapult Network comes in. We help recent grads and employers find the right fit — beyond just what’s listed on a resume.

Looking for your next opportunity or your next great hire? Let’s connect.

For the first time in what feels like forever… there’s no class schedule, no syllabus, and no back-to-school shopping.

If you’re a recent grad, fall might look a little different this year. Instead of heading back to campus, you may be refreshing job boards, updating your resume, and wondering, “Okay… now what?”

That’s where we come in.

At Katapult Network, we help recent grads take that next step and connect with entry-level opportunities where they can learn, grow, and kick off their careers.

No homework. No midterms. Just your next opportunity.

Ready to start your post-grad job search? Let’s talk! Send in your resume to [email protected] or check out our website to learn more at www.katapultnetwork.com
