Ireland’s 100 leading graduate employers 2010 has been compiled from almost 20,000 student and graduate votes during a four-month period ending in March 2010. This is comfortably the largest survey of student and graduate opinion in Ireland. The survey was designed and independently administered by trendence, the leading European graduate careers research firm, which conducts similar surveys in 22 European countries.
To register a vote, students had to complete a short survey which was online on gradireland.com and promoted by careers services to their own students. As well as being asked to choose the employers they would most like to work for, they were asked a number of other questions including their salary expectations and key decision factors.
The survey was open to students and graduates from all third level colleges in Ireland, north and south and we’re delighted to report that we received completed surveys from all of them.
