4 studies

High-quality sample

Comparison across sectors

Studies are carried out among:

1. students
2. medical students
3. students of vocational schools
4. experienced workers

Research has been conducted since 2010.

The survey sample is large, and we ensure that we have the opportunity to select the results of the target group that interests you personally.

Respondents can evaluate employers from different sectors according to a predetermined list, where competitors are presented side by side. You have the opportunity to compare yourself with both direct competitors and labor market competitors from other sectors.

In order to be successful in employer branding and finding employees, activities must be planned and results measured.

The gut feeling doesn't take you far. The study gives you input on the basis of which you can map the current situation, evaluate the effectiveness of the actions already taken, and plan for the future.

"As an employer, it is important for us to know what is happening in the labor market. Participating in the survey allows us to see where our place is today in the labor market. In addition, we get a good overview of what our target groups are, what speaks to them and which channels to use to reach them. The survey provides an excellent overview, which are the organizations that are valued on the labor market and with whom one would like to work.

We certainly recommend participation in the study to others. The main value of participating in the survey is that, as an employer, we get to know where our potential employees are located and who they are. Of course, it's also good to know what young people think of us as an employer and what our position is in their eyes compared to other employers."

– Marianne Tiigimaa - Human Resources Manager of the Prosecutor's Office

"The results of the Instar employer reputation survey were a good input for us to understand the preferences and expectations of young people when making career choices. We got an overview of our company's position in the ranking of preferred employers in the eyes of students and a more detailed view of how the given answers were distributed on the "definitely want to work - definitely don't want to work" scale. All this also about competitors in the sector and other employers.

Instar's research team is very professional and the cooperation went perfectly!'

– Ursula Altmets, CGI Estonia HR Manager

"The employer reputation survey of the IT students target group by Instar gave a very good overview of the expectations and preferences of young IT people on the labor market, as well as information on which channels would be wise to communicate with them.

I would definitely recommend the target group survey to those employers who make decisions related to the recruitment of young people based on the so-called gut feeling - you may be right, but you may not be at all!"

– Laura Pukk, HR Manager, Cash on Go

Before confirming the order, we also offer a free consultation on the topic of employer branding and help to choose the target groups of the survey, whose results will benefit your organization the most.
