Philippines’ Top 10 Schools Preferred by Employers According to JobStreet
JOBSTREET – Online job portal JobStreet released an official list of the latest colleges and universities whose graduates are preferred by recruiters.
When searching for potential candidates to fill vacant positions within the company, hiring managers consider the educational background of applicants, especially for fresh graduates with no work experience.
This practice may seem unfair to those who have excelled academically in lesser-known academic institutions. However, it is an accepted reality because educational institutions across the country are ranked based on their academic performances and other relevant factors.
High-performing universities that consistently produce top-notchers and achieve high passing rates are naturally ranked at the top of university rankings. As a result, hirers and human resources (HR) managers in the Philippines often rely on these statistics to recruit candidates from these prestigious schools, believing they will excel in the workplace as well.
Recently, the online job portal JobStreet published an official list of colleges and universities whose graduates are preferred by local employers.
Here are the top 10 Philippine schools preferred by hirers, according to JobStreet’s data:
- Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP)
- University of the Philippines (UP)
- De La Salle University (DLSU)
- University of Santo Tomas (UST)
- Mapúa University
- Batangas State University
- University of Mindanao
- University of Cebu
- Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP)
- STI College
The survey, conducted in May, encompassed various industries and involved more than 700 companies nationwide that use JobStreet as a platform to recruit potential candidates.
Furthermore, the study found that most hirers prefer PUP graduates because they are seen as “effective team players” in the corporate world. On the other hand, UP and DLSU graduates benefit from the strong reputation of their schools as top producers of excellent graduates in various fields.
