Comparison
National employer survey vs programme employer interviews
What each kind of employer evidence can tell a programme team
A comparison for programme directors and quality leads deciding how to gather employer feedback. A national survey such as Australia's Employer Satisfaction Survey gives stable, comparable figures across a whole system, while structured interviews with the supervisors of a programme's own graduates give the reasons behind the ratings at programme level. Koji runs short AI-moderated employer interviews and groups the answers into themes with quotes.
What's in this comparison
National employer survey
- Thousands of supervisors across a whole country
- Reached through graduates who pass on contact details
- Ratings on fixed skill domains, little detail on why
- Results by broad field, small programmes pooled
- Published once a year
Programme employer interviews
- Supervisors of your own graduates
- Invited directly from a list you define
- Same core questions, with follow-ups on the reasons
- Themes and quotes for one programme
- Run on the cycle your review needs
