Nowadays, there are some companies any candidate wishes to work for, but, at the same time, there are a lot of companies which are confronting with lack of candidates. What made those companies become the top-of-mind choices in people’s mind? What are they doing differently and what candidates say about them?
Having a well-structured employer branding strategy is the key of aiming the best suited employees. The way people are talking about your brand is one of the most valuable thing for a company.
Our recent study that came out this summer, The Most Desired Employers 2016, reveals the top of the most demanded companies in Romania. As we can see, the top 4 hasn’t suffered any changes from last year. Oracle, Google, Microsoft and IBM remain the most wanted companies where candidates eager to get hired. Moreover, Oracle is on the first position for the fourth time in a row and Google is still ranked 2nd.
If we are looking at the evolution of people’s preferences, we can spot a tendency of increased popularity among IT&C companies.

As we can see in the chart, the respondents are not looking only at the financial benefits. They are interested also in aspects including a friendly environment, an employer that provides challenging jobs, flexible working programs or a good company reputation.
How do candidates get in touch with the latest news about the company?
37,51% of the potential employees prefer to access the company’s site in order to get all the information needed about new career opportunities. Because of that, a comprehensive career page is highly recommended.

A second preferred communication channel is represented by the job sites. 37,19% think that it is a useful way to find all the information needed about career opportunities and, also, an instrument that facilitates the application process.
