Universum is an international company founded in Sweden by a graduating college student who wanted to improve communication between his peers and the companies that wanted to hire them.

In the nearly 20 years since, Universum has become the leading employer branding company focusing on college students. It opened its U.S. office in 1997 and in 2005 expanded to Asia. Its annual surveys provide intelligence on what students are thinking and looking for in both career and employer. The IDEAL™ Employer Survey ranks employers in various fields, based on the results of annual surveys. The company operates globally to develop and promote a campus brand image for employers. It also offers its clients specific data on how they compare to their competitors among the college students they seek to recruit.
