LinkedIn says Salesforce, Amazon and Uber are most attractive companies to work for

LinkedIn's Top Attractors is a new list ranking of the most attractive places to work and these are currently led by Salesforce, Amazon and Uber which are perceived as the most desireable places for people to work.

The Top Attractors list uses exclusive LinkedIn data and examining the billions of actions of LinkedIn’s 433+ million members, to rank the top companies where people want to work now. Hit jump for the top 10 places and what makes them so attractive.

The industries attracting the most job seekers in the U.S. include technology (45%), media and entertainment (13%), financial services (10%) and professional services (10%), among others. Additionally, professionals point to notable CEOs, schedule flexibility and company growth as the most important attributes when considering where to work.

Here is what the top 10 LinkedIn Top Attractors are doing to draw top talent:

1. Google offers post-mortem financial support to the spouses and families of employees.
2. Salesforce consulted monks when constructing areas for mindfulness in its offices.

4. Apple is designing a new multi-billion dollar campus headquarters that includes 8,000 trees in an effort to be more environmentally friendly.
5. Amazon provides excellent salaries and such perks as the Amazon Career Choice Program, which pays 95 percent of tuition for in-demand fields.
6. Uber employees are given free ride credits every month.
7. Microsoft* employees don’t need to look far for coffee - the wide-spanning campus has 37 espresso bars, 33 cafes and more than 500 stocked kitchenettes.

9. Twitter holds regular meetings between its leaders and “tweeps” to stress transparency.

It’s based on the actions of professionals with editorial oversight, highlighting the companies most sought-after today.
