Munich. The BMW Group is shaping the mobility of
tomorrow – making it electric, digital and circular. With this
consistent focus, the company can offer exciting, future-oriented
jobs. The BMW Group was once again rewarded for this with the top spot
in relevant 2021 employer rankings and is therefore on a par with
international technology leaders. Young talents especially appreciate
that, at the BMW Group, they can contribute to society and grow as a
person. “We are especially pleased that we are able to position
ourselves as an attractive and reliable employer, at both national and
international level, in times of transformation. This also pays off in
the competition for young talents,” says Ilka Horstmeier, member of
the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Human Resources and
Labour Relations.
In this year’s “World’s Most Attractive Employer” survey of around
221,000 students from the ten most important economic nations
conducted by Universum, the BMW Group was ranked as the best
automotive employer worldwide among all target groups. The company is
holding its own in a highly competitive international market for the
best talents. In the engineering category, the BMW Group took one of
the top spots – earning a sensational third place, right behind Google
and Microsoft. In the survey of IT students, the BMW Group was the
only industrial company among the tech giants and the only automotive
company to make the top ten, with a solid ninth place. The BMW Group
also finished well ahead of all other automotive manufacturers in the
business students’ ranking, coming in 13th. The BMW Group consistently
makes the top ten in the IT category in other relevant surveys of
students and professionals in Germany, like the Trendence Graduate
Barometer and the Universum Students and Professionals Study. In the
engineering and business categories, the company comfortably ranks
among the top five employers.
It is particularly gratifying that the BMW Group was also named most
attractive employer by young professionals in Germany in the Trendence
Professionals Barometer for the tenth consecutive year. Trendence
Institut GmbH is an independent consulting and market research firm
that surveys more than 25,000 experienced college graduates every
year. The BMW Group is also a very popular employer among skilled
workers: In the Trendence Skilled Workers Barometer 2021, which
surveyed almost 50,000 employees in Germany, the company was ranked
second and therefore improved on its position from the previous year.
In the survey of students on their assessment of the attractivity of
employers, the BMW Group has again ranked 4th and is thus an
established entity in the Trendence Student Barometer. This shows that
talents in the marketplace also recognise what BMW Group staff confirm
in the company’s own Employee Surveys: This year, 91 percent of them
said they were proud to work for the BMW Group.
Young talents seeking security and stability
COVID-19, but also the economic and social upheavals of 2020 and
2021, have led young talents to re-evaluate their working life. The
studies are seeing a shift in young talents towards more stability and
security – and, therefore, more towards companies like the BMW Group
that have already successfully steered their employees through times
of change in the past.
Talents for a forward-looking digital and sustainable mobility
The BMW Group offers a whole host of attractive perspectives. Above
all, this includes fascinating products that are not just developed
virtually, but implemented and visible on the roads. This is
particularly appealing to IT talents, whose innovations are crucial to
the mobility of tomorrow. “Both young talents and professionals in the
fields of IT, science and engineering can find highly attractive entry
opportunities at the BMW Group. New colleagues quickly gain an insight
into our topics, interfaces, and products, and become part of the BMW
Group’s creative and dynamic global team. We provide the best
conditions for our teams to leverage their individual skills and
passion to shape the best solutions for the sustainable mobility of
the future,” says Nicole Kurek, head of Talent and Transformation
Management. To achieve this, the BMW Group is also looking for experts
in future areas of activity like battery research, automated driving,
artificial intelligence, software development and IT security, but
also IT specialists for databases and cloud systems, as well as app
developers for infotainment and entertainment.
Interested talents can discover for themselves what working at the
BMW Group is all about on the BMW Group Careers social media channels.
They can also find information on openings for direct entry and
internships, and apply directly, on the BMW Group career pages.
