About Kantar

Kantar is a research, data and insight company. It describes its purpose as helping organisations succeed through a deeper understanding of people, and it positions its work around 'Intelligence for Brand Growth'.

Its work is grouped into three areas: signal intelligence (how people behave as shoppers and customers), decision intelligence (testing adverts, media and new products) and strategic intelligence (brand strategy, consulting and qualitative research).

In the UK and Ireland it takes on roughly 100 people a year through graduate schemes, apprenticeships and placements, in research, client service, consulting and technical roles. UK locations named are London, Warwick and Epsom.

Kantar says it hires more than statisticians. It also looks for business thinking, writing and language skills and people skills. The main graduate intake starts in September, with roles advertised in the autumn and assessment days in spring.

It is a good fit for someone who likes asking why people buy what they buy, and wants to turn data into a story clients can act on.
