Audi is Europe's Top Employer

- Renewed top position in German graduates’ rankings
- Most popular employer also in Hungary and Belgium
- Board of Management Member for HR Thomas Sigi: “The awards are evidence of the consistent implementation of our strategy of being an attractive employer worldwide.”
- Audi Group: approximately 4,800 employees to be recruited worldwide in 2013

Audi is more popular as an employer than ever before. The company recorded its fourth win in succession in the renowned employer rankings of the research institutes Trendence and Universum* and thus remains a top address for students in Germany. After Audi Hungaria was voted Hungary’s most attractive company and Audi Brussels took first place in the Belgian “Employer of the Year” survey just a week ago, Audi has now gained excellent results also in Germany.

The brand with the four rings continues to be the most popular employer for graduates in engineering and business management. According to the latest Universum survey, every fourth German young engineer and nearly every fifth graduate in business management would like to start his or her career at Audi. “Once again this year, we are the Number One preferred employer amongst students. Our attractive working conditions and the excellent development opportunities in Germany and at our international sites appeal to future specialists and executives,” stated Thomas Sigi, Board of Management Member for Human Resources and Labor Relations Director at AUDI AG. The company’s production network will continue to grow – in the first half of this decade to 16 sites in 13 countries. Along its growth path, AUDI AG plans to recruit approximately 1,500 new employees in Germany alone. In addition, about another 700 young people will begin a traineeship or apprenticeship at Audi this year.

I didn't realize Europe consisted solely of Germany, Hungary and Belgium?

This "article" is a major fail and your biased attitude is really sad.

There is a point when passion for a particular brand becomes closed-minded bigotry. You are looking at the point in the rear-view mirror buddy.

Closed-minded bigotry? What? Are you just another BMW fanboy feeling threatened by Audi's success? That would be a YES.

Oh, I almost forgot, the article was published by Audi Media Services. Don't blame me for your insecurities when the company's official media page publishes the article.

Yes @Germannut, that's exactly what it is. You haven't addressed the point of my comment, that the article is incorrect, so you attack me and assume I'm a fanboy because you know I'm right.

Pot calling the kettle black? You are the ultimate fanboy. And what success? Didn't Audi just post a 7.1% drop in profits? Please.

Then you try to blame the fact the article was written by Audi themselves, so that couldn't be biased at all hey?

And, of course, no company has ever lied. And that, my little bigot fanboy, is exactly what a closed-minded bigot would do, can't see passed your own nose.

You're just the same sad guy from Insideline who irritated everyone there and you found a new site, also pretending you love everything German but only commenting on Audi.

Audi makes some great cars but your obsession is clearly a psychosis. Get help.

Firewombat, listen up.

First of all I didn't even know InsideLine has forums. While I do frequent the site for comparison tests and first drive results, I was unaware that they had forums.

Why is the article incorrect? What do you propose would be a better title? "Audi is Germany, Hungary and Belgium's Top Employer"

Don't blame me, blame Audi Media Services on that one. Remember how BMW artificially inflated its sales numbers at the end of 2012, particularly in November and December, to beat out Mercedes-Benz in order to gain the title of "Best-Selling Premium Brand in the U.S."

You think a 7.1% drop in profits and a 11.1% return on sales is bad?

You obviously missed Daimler's 2013 Q1 numbers. Daimler saw its net profit fall 60% overall and its Mercedes-Benz Cars division saw its EBIT tumble 62% with return on sales falling to just 3.3% from 8.2% in Q1 2012.

No, you listen up, I don't know what "forums" you're talking about on Insideline, you just scroll down and comment, and you used to paste the same links in your "arguments" there as you've done here. It is you.

Suggestions for a better title? Yes:

Audi is a top automotive employer in 3 European countries;
Audi tops graduate survey in Germany...etc.

All of which are more truthful and accurate.

Don't blame you? You posted the article on this site, who else is there to blame? Or are you that closed-minded?

Your biased and mental condition is just so severe you cannot see your inaccuracies.

And talk about insecurities, someone criticizes your post and immediately you quote links of BMW and Merc doing badly. That's just sad.

Like I said, get help. You know what they say about being powerful, if you have to tell people, you aren't.

That is what you're doing to your beloved brand. By having to shove info down people's throats about Audi, it just proves how far they have to go.

Maybe one day it will be the kind of brand that doesn't need people like you?
