L’Oreal’s a Hit with Business & Engineering Grads

Kids say the darndest things and older and smarter kids have a lot to say about L'Oréal. Business and engineering students from all over the world have ranked L’Oréal the eighth most attractive employer in Universum's World’s Most Attractive Employers ranking, up from No. 9 in 2016. For engineering students, L’Oréal is the 15th most attractive employer, up from number 16 in 2015. This year’s rankings demonstrate L’Oréal’s increased attractiveness to students around the world. For the first time, L’Oréal is also among the five most dynamic companies worldwide (companies with the biggest long-term progress).

“We value this recognition which ranks us among students’ 10 favorite employers and shows they have recognized L'Oréal's strong values and culture that have shaped the company since its beginnings. These values, especially open-mindedness, quick access to new responsibilities, agility and entrepreneurship are more relevant than ever at L'Oréal and they also correspond to what the younger generations are looking for today,” says Jean-Claude Le Grand, senior vice president talent development and chief diversity officer of L’Oréal.


More than 294,000 respondents from the Universum Talent Surveys have ranked the companies they find most desirable for employment. Business and engineering students in the world’s 12 largest economies have evaluated employers based on 40 characteristics revealing what they consider most important in their employment decisions. The data was collected from October 2016 to May 2017.

 

L’Oréal, which received more than 1.3 million job applications each year, is recognized by candidates for its capacity to generate disruptive innovation, provide international career opportunities and great learning as well as for the attractiveness of its products and services, according to the company.
