Top 100 Employers of Choice for Information Technology Students was originally published on College Recruiter.
The recently posted article, Top 100 Ideal Employers for 2011 College Students and Recent Graduates, discussed the importance of employers having a positive brand on-campus as it made their recruitment efforts easier. In short, the best candidates want to work for the best employers so those best employers are better able to recruit the best candidates, which makes those employers even better.
Universum publishes a survey each year in which employers are ranked as the most ideal by tens of thousands of students at hundreds of colleges and universities. For 2011, the top 100 employers of choice as ranked by engineering students are:
