Talentum’s employer image survey analysed the images of various companies, and their attractiveness as employers, among Finnish professional and managerial employees and students at the final stages of their studies. Employer images have been monitored since 1995. Over one thousand (1,021) professional and managerial employees with a technical, business, social or legal qualification, and slightly under 900 (895) students replied to the 2011 survey.

The survey was conducted by Kuulas Millward Brown in March–April 2011 and commissioned by Talentum Media Oy.
