The Top 25 Australian Companies To Work For (And Their Careers Pages)

LinkedIn has revealed the 25 most desirable employers in Australia. The rankings are based on the online behaviour of 8 million job seekers and professionals who make up LinkedIn’s Australian user base. Here’s the full list – with links to available jobs.

Despite a distinct lack of startups, almost a quarter of LinkedIn’s 2017 list are new additions, with familiar brands like BHP Billiton, Wesfarmers, NAB and Westpac edging into the top 25 for the first time.

This suggests that established companies have been implementing changes to attain and attract skilled workers. (Or maybe Aussies are placing more value on job security compared to last year?)

Either way, the list is dominated by financial services groups, professional services and some of Australia’s biggest private employers.

PwC was ranked #1, which it attributes to the implementation of flexible working in all areas. Intriguingly, the company no longer requires an accounting degree from new employees – or any degree, for that matter.

“We love to talk to a range of people from a huge and diverse number of backgrounds,” Sue Horlin, Australian Human Capital Leader at PwC, told Business Insider.

“We are open to any kind of background and love the opportunity to talk to a wide range of people. No matter what your background, we would love to chat to you.”

All companies in the top 25 also reward their employees well: birthday leave, well-being programs, generous parental leave, flexible working hours and an open dress code are all common practice.
