Lenovo Group, the world's third-largest supplier of personal computers, has emerged as one of the most attractive employers for top engineering students, according to a global survey.
The company was the sole mainland enterprise in the Top 50 ranking for the engineering category of Swedish firm Universum's World's Most Attractive Employers 2011 index, which was published yesterday.
Universum is a consultancy in 'employer branding', strategies that companies use to appeal to present and future talent.
It works with 1,500 universities worldwide to research the career and employer preferences of top prospects. Its index is split into preferences surveyed from 160,000 students in business and engineering.
Hong Kong-listed Lenovo took the No 44 spot in the engineering category of the global talent attraction index, but did not make the top-50 business rankings.
'Lenovo is the best workplace for talented people,' Lenovo chief executive Yang Yuanqing said.
