QS Employer Reputation Dataset

Measure, benchmark, and strengthen your employer reputation.

Why employer reputation matters

Employer perceptions drive employability, industry partnerships and market visibility. Yet most universities rely on limited workforce feedback, leaving a gap between academic outcomes and real-world needs.

This dataset closes this gap. By making reputation visible and actionable, it helps shape strategy around market demand and prove their institution’s impact.
