World’s Most Attractive Employers: Top Trends and Aspirations for 2024

What makes the world's leading companies so desirable for talent?  

Universum has released the results of its 16th annual World’s Most Attractive Employers report. In 2024, Universum surveyed over 144,000 business, engineering, and IT students in the world’s 9 largest economies (Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, the UK and the US). We asked these groups of future talent to provide insights into the company characteristics they find most attractive in a potential employer, as well as who they perceive to be their ideal employer.   
 
Our 2024 report provides insights on the latest Employer Branding strategies that are currently resonating with the upcoming workforces and includes preferences and comparisons from talent across the globe. 

In 2024, the emphasis is clear: young professionals are leaning towards secure, flexible, profitable, and future-focused careers. To engage this new generation, companies must rethink their approach to leadership and work-life balance.
