Equinor at the top of Universum's list of Norway’s most attractive employers

Universum, which is one of the world's largest employer brand-building companies, has spent the first few months of the year surveying how Norwegian students rank the attractiveness of potential employers. Historically, Equinor has been at the top of this ranking for several years, and this trend is continuing.

This spring, Equinor has again been named Norway’s Top-1, Top-2 and Top-3 most attractive employer among students within engineering, business and technology. This survey also sees Equinor among this year's "climbers" among law students.

In this survey, girls in IT studies find Equinor to be such an attractive employer that the company has jumped 6 whole places from ninth to third place.

"This is important to ensure Equinor's future recruitment of women in IT and technology. The fact that an increasing number of female law students also rank Equinor higher among attractive employers also bodes well for the percentage of women in the company over the longer term," With says.

For the past 3 years, we have onboarded 1,500 graduates, apprentices, summer, and academic interns - reinforcing our commitment to developing the younger generations. And, as shown in this year’s survey, we see that we are steadily increasing our attractiveness as an employer year-over-year for female students in law and IT.

Attracting young talents is important for Equinor, and this survey is confirming that we are heading into the right direction for being an attractive employer. Axel Stenerud, Executive VP of PO in Equinor (picture) points out: “We live in complex times that brings us both challenges and opportunities. We need the knowledge from those with years of experience in the company, but we also need different thinking and ideas from new colleagues who join from outside of our organisation”.
