What you need to know about hiring Singaporean graduates

Google retains the top spot as the most ideal employer in Singapore, according to the Singapore Top 100 IDEAL Employers student survey released today by Universum.

The survey tracks the career aspirations and preferences of Singapore’s future talent pool by collecting feedback from more than 8,800 participating students from Singapore’s four universities - SMU, SIM, NTU and NUS.

This year, business students and engineering students chose Google as the most ideal employer.

When asked about their most important career goal upon graduation, approximately two thirds of students (66.2% business students and 67.7% engineering students) consider having work-life balance as one of their top priorities upon graduation, followed by the desire to be secure in their job (54.65% and 54.28% respectively).

As for the third priority, while more than a third (31.2%) of business students aspire to be a leader of people, close to four in 10 (39.9%) engineering students find being dedicated to a cause or feeling as though they are serving a greater good, to be their third most important priority.
