Several universities in New Jersey who pump out thousands of graduates in computer science, engineering, data sciences and a host of other related degrees. Think of it like an NFL team, time to rebuild.

And by rebuilding are you talking about like the Browns? Their 50 year rebuilding plan.... "there's always next year"
Are you honestly that delusional to think that any top-tier college grads are going to want to come work for Fiserv with the in-office requirements? Stay delusional friends!
700 open requisitions in BERKELEY HEIGHTS currently.
all BS.. new hires are being recruited and hired in india in numbers. prove me wrong HR has the stats.. the only way they get to NJ is with an H1B.. companys banking on that as well.
To apply for roles in our new location at The Park in Berkeley Heights please find openings on our internet at Fiserv.com. Our beautiful new building is part of Connell Park, complete with a walking trail, outdoor amphitheater, brewery, skating rink, bowling alley, restaurants, fitness and wellness centers and virtually every amenity imaginable.
Also New Jersey IT has a nice computer science, app dev, and cyber programs.
Several thousand university grads from Rutgers alone. Many other smaller universities as well.
If the head of HR your referring to is still Tony, then think again. I was part of a college graduate program at First Data several years ago. They flew us to NY for a welcome dinner with all the executives. It was great except Tony was intoxicated and hitting on us at the bar afterward. He is way to old to be hitting on college girls.
So your telling us that the "strongest people advocate you've ever seen" can't talk our Dear Leader out of herding people back to an office...during a pandemic? Or worse forcing them to relocate to the re---m that is New Jersey?
You have no idea, the HR Head is probably the most courageous people advocate I’ve worked with in my 25 years. So you really don’t know him but if you did you surely wouldn’t have the opinion you do. Maybe the strongest people advocate I’ve ever seen.
You mean the students who had to adapt to hybrid and 100% online learning want to go into an office 5 days a week?
You only need to rebuild what has been destroyed.
ROFL! HR is for young kids who dont know any better. Anyone has has real life corporate experience understands they are nothing more then lemmings for the senior table. They are there to protect the company and NOT the employee. When people understand that their perspective changes....
Good luck fiserv... You will desperately need it!!!
Of course staffing will be fine. Anyone that says different is crazy. The issue isn't staffing, it's the loss of knowledge. Previous to here I worked at IBM on a small team of programmers. When I started everyone had between 5 and 15 years of experience. I calculated it at over 100 years total. Our product had close to 2 million users a month. Slowly people started to quit and one by one they were replaced by people fresh out of college. They were all paid highly, smart and capable, but sadly with no real world mentorship they all struggled and left quickly. The total years of experience fell fast, the quality of the product took a dive and now the it's dead. All of this took place in the course of less than 5 years. I foresee the same at Fiserv, but it seems to be at a highly accelerated rate.
If HR is telling us that things are fine, that means they have already missed their first benchmarks.
Oh, so with only two graduations between now and the deadline, you just need to hire every single one of them. That seems realistic. Weight off of my shoulders...
Sure, like a young person who wants to live in the city (and can't afford a car much less a house in suburban NJ) really wants to commute 2-3 hours a day to the middle of nowhere NJ. Sure they do.
Some will not and others will…
You think you're getting Peyton Manning, but you'll end up with Ryan Leaf. Those graduates have no desire to work for a 500.
