FPT passes Google and Microsoft to become Vietnam’s Most Attractive Employer

Universum (Sweden) recently published the rankings of most ideal employers voted by students in Vietnam in 2016. FPT surpassed IT giants Google and Microsoft to top the list in IT field, from a third position last year.

The result was based on Universum’s survey of over 100 big domestic and foreign-invested corporations in Vietnam.

The 2016 survey about the employers’ recruitment trends and career goals of young people was conducted online with 21,062 students from 30 universities in major cities (Hanoi, HCMC, Can Tho and Da Nang).

The list of Most Attractive Employers by Universum is a global reputation survey held annually with the participation of the students in 7 sectors: engineering, economics, information technology, medical, social, humanities, law and science from top academies of the world.

Universum’s survey was conducted to provide overall information for Vietnamese students in search of job opportunities after graduation, as well as an insight into job demand trends and future directions of students for the employers in order that they can draw up suitable strategies to attract more talents.

Samsung took the lead in the engineering sector. Vinamilk, the nation’s leading dairy firm, comes first in the natural science sector, followed by Unilever, Coca Cola, Nestle, and Google. Unilever takes the lead in business/commerce, followed by Google and Vinamilk.

The representative from Universum said that these companies topped the “attractiveness index” as they have shown that their working environments meet the following criteria: User-friendly, flexible, dynamic and creativity, helps arouse employees’ passion; chance of higher income in the future and training and development policy.

Across the past 25 years, Universum has been using the insights from its annual student survey to help employers understand, attract, and retain current and future employees through its research, strategic consulting, and activation services. Universum has surveyed over 700,000 students and employees from more than 30 countries. This is the trusted partner of more than 1,200 companies worldwide, including many Fortune 500 companies.
