LinkedIn classifies companies based on four pillars: interest in the company, interaction with employees, demand for jobs and employee retention.
LinkedIn developed the Top Companies 2019 list, which highlights the 25 companies in which Mexicans currently want to work and develop a professional career.
Regarding the methodology, the calculation was made based on four pillars:
- Interest in the company (number of new unique and non-employee followers of the company’s LinkedIn page)
- Interaction with employees (how many people who are not employees visualize the unique profiles of company employees)
- The demand for jobs (the rate at which people visualize and apply for jobs in the company)
- The retention of collaborators (how many employees remain in the company at least one year after their date of hiring, based on the profiles of users on LinkedIn).
