Most Attractive Employers Apac Universum

The 2015 rankings of the Most Attractive Employers in APAC is based on a survey of over 165,000 students from the top universities across ten of Asia’s largest economies, and reveal which employers have the most effective employer brands. More than 1.3 million students were involved in this study worldwide in 2015.

‘We’re delighted to see that for the second year running Engineering and IT students have ranked Shell the most attractive energy industry employer in APAC,’ said Daniel Zhang, Shell Regional Recruitment Manager - Asia Pacific and Middle East, who started his career in Shell’s Graduate Programme. ‘Among the things we know they value is our emphasis on creating a great place to work, teamed with a graduate programme that develops leadership qualities, is at the forefront of innovation and challenges our graduates to make an impact from day one.’
