By many reports, 2017 is a buyer’s market for job seekers. In tech, the competition is especially fierce, as companies rise or fall from consumer favor or teeter under the weight of internal troubles (looking at you, Uber).
For example, LinkedIn just revealed its list of the top global companies based on the rates of applications and job openings, the number of people asking for connections within a company, and how long staff are sticking around. The top five:
- Alphabet
- Amazon
- Uber
- Apple
All of the data was gathered through the 12 months ending this past February. (Note: Susan Fowler’s explosive blog post about sexual harassment at Uber was published on February 19. So next year’s list may look very different.)
