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.
