LinkedIn Top Companies

Last updated: 3 months ago

LinkedIn Top Companies is an annual list that helps professionals identify the top workplaces to grow their careers. The ranking, put out by LinkedIn News, is determined by a carefully weighted methodology using exclusive LinkedIn data analyzing the career paths of millions of professionals, globally. The Top Companies list is created with the goal of providing a go-to resource at every stage of one’s career journey, helping people build careers that will set them up for long-term success.

LinkedIn publishes Top Companies list annually, and in addition to a country ranking, it also publishes city-level rankings.

Being included on the LinkedIn Top Companies list not only furthers a company’s employer brand, but also garners attention and conversation for honorees on and off LinkedIn. LinkedIn is in a unique position to have deep insights on what job seekers are looking for — and this list is a powerful way for job seekers to discover your company, if they haven’t already. It’s also a way for employees to take pride in their company. 

All honorees receive a badge on their LinkedIn company page at launch, identifying them as a LinkedIn Top Company. Badges are displayed to members according to their country and the member's language preference. The  badge will appear near the top of the company page and is hyperlinked, directing members to the country list that the company ranks on. The badge helps members make informed decisions when engaging with or following a company. 

The Top Companies list and badges are refreshed yearly. Badges are a default Page feature.
