KPMG has been ranked second
among world’s most attractive
employers again
KPMG has been ranked second for two years running on Universum’s 2011
index of “The World’s Most Attractive Employers”.
Universum, a global talent consultant, develops its global index of the top 50
most attractive employers by asking students pursuing business and
engineering degrees to identify “ideal” employers.
The Universum rankings this year polled nearly 83,000 business students from
the world’s top academic institutions in 12 leading economies: Brazil, Canada,
China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, Spain, the US and the UK.
“We are totally committed to equipping our people with the skills they need to
cut through the complexity of today’s world,” said Rachel Campbell, Global
Head of People, KPMG International. “That complexity sees our people
increasingly work across borders and take on challenging, ground breaking
projects. To be voted by students as one of the world’s most attractive
employers is a real honor and is recognition of the world class learning that we
provide to our people.”
In August this year, KPMG International announced that its member firms will
hire approximately 75,000 campus graduates worldwide over the next three
years, representing a 25 percent increase in campus resourcing targets. The
hiring will play an important role in meeting KPMG member firm’s long-term
global growth strategy.
Incoming KPMG International Chairman Michael Andrew said: “Every day our
people operate across borders, think ahead of the curve on major global
trends, provide deep expertise and work to add value in a way that speaks
directly to the priorities of our member firm clients. Our environment is one of
collaboration, empowerment and performance, which gives our people the
opportunities to grow professionally and personally. The Universum ranking is a
true testament to the employment experience we have to offer new
graduates.”
Universum CEO Petter Nylander said: “Universum is proud to announce its third
annual edition of the World’s Most Attractive Employers based on respondents
from almost 83,000 business students. KPMG and other top ranked employers
can take pride in knowing that their employer brand knows no boundaries and
reaches the best talent from every corner of the earth.”
