Malaysia's 100 Leading Graduate Employers is the country's largest and longest-running study of graduate recruitment. Every year, we ask students at universities across Malaysia which companies they'd most want to work for — then rank the results.

It's powered by the Malaysia Graduate Barometer, a nationwide survey of more than 14,000 students, and it culminates each year in the M100 Awards Night, celebrating the recruiters students rated highest, both overall and within their industry.
