The Pillars of an Award-Winning Program
Kantar was selected as a 2023 Campus Forward Award Winner for their unwavering commitment to seeking out and hiring early career talent, their emphasis on diversity & inclusion, and investments in nurturing and retaining the next generation of talent. Please see below for the highlights of their approach to early career recruitment.
Demonstrated Investment in Early Career Hiring
Kantar thrives on bringing in entry-level talent to connect like-minded recent graduates with experienced individuals, and to introduce them to the many aspects of market research it has to offer. Kantar views its organization as somewhere recent graduates can make a "home", where they can learn and grow and eventually take on the responsibility of a mentor as they climb the ladder. Kantar has consistently seen the reward in junior talent, as they bring in fresh ideas & new perspectives to the business.
Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruitment
Kantar currently attends college career fairs, and hosts events at its NYC and U.S. offices. Kantar also created a rotational program and employee advocacy program to showcase its early career opportunities. Kantar is also constantly looking to update its candidate experience journey, career sites, and job descriptions, as well as campaigns to target college and early career job-seekers.
Overarching Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
Kantar wants to attract, retain, and develop a diverse mix of talented individuals, and create an inclusive culture where everyone can succeed. In each region, Kantar focuses on I&D initiatives that have a big impact locally. These range from inclusive behavior training to flexible working policies, and from neurodiversity workshops to return-to-work programmes for people who have taken career breaks. Kantar is changing how it recruits people to be more inclusive. The company supports a number of global virtual networks where people connect on key topics, including Pride @ Kantar, Colourful @ Kantar, Women of Kantar, and the Neurodiversity Network. Kantar also celebrates events such as International Women’s Day and Pride through global programmes.
Growth and Development of the Next Generation of Talent
Kantar uses Glassdoor surveys, onboarding candidate survey experience, in-office events, mentorship, career progression, education reimbursement, and more to attract and retain the next generation of talent.
