Third year in a row that business students rank KPMG #2 in Universum’s ‘World’s Most Attractive Employers’ survey

In the annual “World Most Attractive Employers” Universum survey rankings, over 75,000 business students from the world’s top academic institutions have given KPMG the number two spot for the third year in a row.

“KPMG careers are fascinating, challenging and well rewarded. We are consistently being recognized for our professionalism, innovation, commitment to constant learning and passion for what we do,” says Rachel Campbell, Global Head of People, KPMG International. “KPMG is a great place to build a career  and to be recognized by top talent as one of the world’s most attractive employers reassures me that we are building the right type of organisation for tomorrow as well as today.”

Universum, a global talent consultant, develops its global index of the top 50 most attractive employers by asking students pursuing business and engineering degrees to identify their “ideal” employer. Responses are gathered at leading academic institutions in the 12 largest economies: Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, Spain, the U.S. and the U.K.

“Attracting top students into our firms enables us to bring the best talent, expertise and knowledge to our clients.” says Michael Andrew, Chairman of KPMG International. “We are proud that students globally are recognizing our employment offer and have ranked us so highly for the third consecutive year. What makes the ranking especially meaningful is that it is based on the opinions of those who represent the future of KPMG and our clients.”

KPMG firms offer fantastic opportunities for our people — to be personally challenged and stretched. They have access to one of the strongest learning and development environments found anywhere, and have the opportunity to work with diverse teams and leading clients all over the world.
