Methodology

The research had as objective to answer the following questions: - what are the ideal qualities of a young graduate? - what are the qualities for long-term employment? - what universities produce the world’s best graduates?


The Global Employability Rankings and Ideal Young Graduate’ survey were carried out in two field phases.


The Ideal Young Graduate:

The first field phase took place from 18th May -7th June 2012. More than 2,500 respondents from 20 countries participated in the personalized online survey.

The countries represented are: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the USA.

Participants were recruiters selected according to the following criteria:
  • Human resources staff responsible for recruitment and selection
  • recruiting bachelor/ master graduates and professionals primarily with corporate profiles
  • Focus on large companies



  • The Global Employability University Ranking


     First Phase

    The respondents to the Ideal Young Graduate Survey were also asked to vote for their countries’ top universities which resulted in the production of 20 national rankings each featuring in their country reports and collectively in the main report

    Those respondents that were also involved in international recruitment were also asked to select their top 3 world universities for the Global Employability University Ranking. International recruiters cast votes.


     Second Phase

    Between June 2012 and September 2012, 2200 top executives ( Chairmen , Directors, CEO’s, MD’s ) selected amongst the top 1000 companies in 10 countries were also asked to select their top 3 world universities from the list of local rankings produced in the first phase, to which they could add any other names of their choices.

    The countries selected for canvassing were Australia, Canada , China, France, Germany , Italy, Switzerland, Spain, United Kingdom, United States.

    All the votes from both waves were compiled and a 50% ponderation from previous ranking was also included , thus giving a total of 11 655 votes.
