Starting your first job after graduation can feel overwhelming. Everyone tells you to pick a role with growth, but no one actually defines what that first year of progress looks like. Among consulting, banking, and tech, there’s one industry many fresh graduates don’t discover until later: Expert Networks.

Naturally, this leads to the question: Is working in an expert network a good first job for fresh graduates? 
Short answer: Yes, for the right kind of learner. Here’s why.

What is an Expert Network Industry?

At its core, an expert network connects clients such as consulting firms, investors, and corporations with experts who have first-hand market experience.

Here at Arches, this means helping clients access the right knowledge across APAC, EMEA, LATAM, the US, and industries ranging from healthcare and energy to fintech and consumer goods. 

We use advanced matching technology and a high-quality expert network to deliver quick, relevant insights across high-stakes industries. We’re currently a team of 250+ staff from 14 countries, operating in 9 offices, and we’re still growing!

Fresh graduates at Arches work close to the action. From day one, they’re involved in:

• Understanding client research needs
• Identifying and qualifying experts
• Supporting expert calls and knowledge-sharing projects
• Collaborating with teams across regions

Why Arches Can Be a Strong First Job for Fresh Graduates

Instead of just studying cases, fresh graduates at Arches drive projects for global clients and witness firsthand how companies navigate markets, risks, and growth.

Market entry and expansion
In a single week, you work across multiple industries and countries. This exposure helps you build commercial awareness early in your career. 

Build transferable skills
We hire for potential, not perfection. What matters most is curiosity, ownership, and a willingness to learn. You will develop skills (e.g., critical thinking, time management, confidence, etc.) that remain relevant across roles and industries.

Get early ownership, not just tasks
Many fresh graduates worry their first job will be all admin and no impact. At Arches, your title doesn’t limit your contribution. We trust you to contribute, take responsibility, and drive a greater impact than you would in a traditional entry-level role.

Learn in a Supportive, Growth-Focused Environment
Learning includes asking questions, trying new approaches, and making mistakes. We value feedback, curiosity, and progress over perfection.
