Top 10 undergraduate employers revealed

Choosing an employer is like choosing a new pair of shoes – you need to find the right level of comfort, compatibility and fit.

Recruiters and employers alike need to be aware of the best companies out there, either to monitor the competition or to understand where they should be looking to direct their clients.

The Top 100 Undergraduate Employers in the UK have been announced, based on data from RateMyPlacement.co.uk, which took into consideration over 7,000 student reviews throughout the 2015-2016 academic year. The table ranked the organisations that recruit over 15 students a year on placements, internships, vacation schemes and insights; and have at least 15 reviews on the website.

This year saw the rise of multinational technology company Microsoft taking the top spot, moving up five places from last year, and professional services firm Grant Thornton came in at number three, after climbing from 16th last year.
