QS Employer Reputation Dataset

See your institution through the eyes of the employers who shape careers and drive hiring decisions.

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.
