Our global & local approach
Despite the increased interaction among people all over the world brought on by technology, most of the time we physically live and act within our local environment. Talented people are attracted and motivated by different things in different countries. While a managerial title is very attractive in India, for example, monetary incentives are more attractive to students in Russia. The success of different communication channels also varies from market to market.
We conduct research in more than 30 countries across the globe. Our global approach allows us to compare career-seekers’ preferences as well as their perceptions of employers across markets. We help employers with their global strategies by providing insights about their brand image in their key recruitment markets.
Our research enables organizations to study and evaluate their employer attractiveness, employer attributes, as well as students’ career preferences and how they differ between markets to understand the results of their employer branding efforts overall.
