Employer branding company Universum, has published its annual list of most attractive employers for 2016 – with a specific focus on South Africa.<\/p>\n

Universum interviewed over 45,000 tertiary institution students as well as over 21,000 professionals in the business\/commerce, engineering\/technology, health care\/health sciences\/sciences and humanities\/liberal arts\/law.<\/p>\n

Among professionals, Google was ranked as the top employer for the business and engineering sector, while students most favoured KPMG and government departments.<\/p>\n

“This year\u2019s winners reflect the trends in the research that show that even with fears around economic instability still a concern, most students are looking for opportunities that include leadership opportunities and professional training and development, with these traits being the most preferred attributes that drive employer attractiveness,” Universum said.<\/p>\n

More than two thirds (67%) of the students are concerned about their prospects of finding a job after graduating, the group noted.<\/p>\n

These are the most attractive employers for both professionals and students, according to Unviersum.<\/p>\n
