Jennifer,
I am always reluctant to hire a graduate straight out of school. I believe that it is unfair to them if they have not had experience in the "real world." Now, obviously this has worked well for you. You are hiring them into a receptionist position. My experience is hiring those grads into teaching positions. For those positions, where I expect them to share their experience with the students, they need experience outside of the school.
