Welcome to the 2010 edition of Malaysia’s 100 leading graduate employers, celebrating Malaysia’s top graduate recruiters as voted by students, graduates and young professionals in the 2010 Malaysian Student and Graduate Barometer survey, conducted by Europe’s leading graduate research firm, trendence.

Even in tough economic times – from which we are only now emerging – employers are still looking for  talented individuals to join their workforce. Smart hiring managers and human resource personnel diligently spend much time and effort to locate and attract the best and brightest candidates who will be able to contribute significantly, and grow and develop their organisations.

Similarly, one of the most difficult yet important decisions that graduates have to make when leaving university is where to start their careers. Whether they are students of engineering, ICT, finance, media or banking, the challenges and questions that they face are the same: Do I want to continue my studies? Do I want a professional qualification? When will I be promoted? How do I achieve my professional and personal goals? Will my job provide me financial security and other related benefits in this challenging world? Can I achieve and enjoy the lifestyle I desire through this profession and job role, locally or overseas? Which company will help me achieve all these?

It is our hope that this publication will answer some or all of these questions, as well as continue to strengthen the bridge of understanding between employers and their future employees. We hope the graduates of today and tomorrow will continue to make better-informed decisions about their future – impacting our families, our community and our nation.
