英国公司招聘时,更喜欢成绩优异、“学以致用”的应聘者,他们希望学生的专业、经验与招聘岗位的要求相匹配,重视学习与工作的一致性。他们也看重“关系”——与大学的业务关系,与学生的工作关系。
2015年11月12日,在泰晤士报高等教育发布的“最受雇主青睐的英国大学”排名,由法国人力资源咨询公司Emerging设计,德国市场调研公司Trendence负责实施,被调查对象是为英国商务、IT和工程领域主要公司服务的猎头。
位列前10的、最受雇主青睐的英国大学中,除牛津、剑桥外,相当一部分来自伦敦地区,如帝国理工、国王学院、伦敦政经等。另外,曼彻斯特、圣安德鲁斯、布里斯托也名列前茅。
上面的图表显示,相比欧洲国家、世界范围内的跨国企业,英国公司更看重毕业生的成绩、专业经验和学位领域。
也就是说,英国公司招聘时,更喜欢成绩优异、“学以致用”的应聘者,他们希望学生的专业、经验与招聘岗位的要求相匹配,重视学习与工作的一致性。他们对毕业生的“出身”(毕业院校)要求并不高,没有名校毕业生优先的观念,能体现出英国人的平等意识。
我认为这很像英国大学招生的标准,也是希望学生专业学习的一贯性,而不是较大的专业跨度。
这张图表中Links with companies,即英国大学(包括其毕业生)与英国公司的关联度,是英国雇主很看重的。换一个角度讲,英国雇主看重英国大学与企业之间有合作项目,在英国公司有实习、工作经验的毕业生,被录取的几率更大。这反应了英国人招聘时的谨慎态度,他们看重“关系”——与大学的业务关系,与学生的工作关系,不愿意超出这个“眼见为实”的思维模式。
