The Top100 Graduate Employers are revealed at the Top100 Awards Night in February. The event is an opportunity to network with other graduate recruitment leaders and industry partners, as well as a chance to interact with top future talent - you might just secure your next graduate program superstar!

Data-driven rankings
We use hundreds of thousands of data points from our database to rank the Top100 graduate employers throughout the recruitment year.
Actual Student Data
Employers are ranked based on actual measured student application behaviour, and not survey data, which can be unreliable with high levels of human error and inaccuracy.
High Success Rate
More than 70% of students who successfully obtain a position in a large graduate program use SEEK Grad when looking for their first graduate job (AAGE Candidate Survey)
Large Database
SEEK Grad has a database of over 280,000 students in Australia from a wide variety of disciplines.
Website Traffic
During peak months, 303,000 of unique Australian visitors visit our site to look for open opportunities.
What we measure
We determine graduate employer popularity by the number of unique university student and graduate applicants they attract.
We do not measure the employer programs directly or base our rankings on the aspirations of the employer.
Limitations and biases
To be eligible for consideration, employers must have advertised graduate opportunities on au.gradconnection.com at some point during the Top100 Awards calendar year.
Note that this indicates that employers offering opportunities in multiple locations, across multiple disciplines, or at multiple times throughout the calendar year are more relevant to a broader set of graduates and therefore will naturally have a higher number of interested applicants in a given year.
