Moves Up To No.3 As Ranked By European Engineering
Students
EADS is apparently a pretty good place to work, at least
according to engineering students in Europe. In the most recent
Universum Top 100 survey, the aerospace and defence company moved
up to third place behind Google and Audi. EADS is followed by BMW
and Apple in the ranking. The Swedish-based employer branding
consultancy Universum has carried out interviews with 19,890
students at 100 leading academic institutions across Europe. The
survey reviews the reputation of more than 60,700 employers and
then ranks only the top 100 of them.
With 135 nationalities represented in the pan-European survey,
it clearly reflects the multicultural and diverse make-up of the
continent’s top academic institutions. Last year, EADS was
ranked seventh by engineering students. “We need to attract
the best and we need to keep them. Our aim is to recruit over 4,000
new employees in 2011. In times of economic growth and increasing
scarcity of qualified employees, it is extremely important to
appeal to young people seeking a job. Our fascinating products such
as the Airbus A380 or the Ariane launcher definitely support this
goal,” commented Jussi Itävuori, Head of EADS Human
Resources. “In order to retain talented young people and make
them active ambassadors of our company, we have to ensure that they
stay engaged during their career. This is why we are launching
initiatives to improve professional development opportunities and
career paths of our employees, as well as the balance between their
professional and private lives.
Mikael Butterbach, Head of Recruitment and Employment Marketing
at Airbus, added: “We need to keep pace with
‘Generation Y’, which is embracing social media,
virtual reality and a team working approach. Staying close to all
our target groups in the employment market is a ‘must’,
especially in view of EADS’ recruitment targets.”
Earlier this year, EADS and its Divisions were honoured with the
Randstad Award as most preferred employer in Germany, France and
Spain. In France, trendence and Universum rated the Group as most
preferred company for engineers, while in the UK Airbus was named
second most popular employer for engineering graduates within a
recent survey by TARGET.
