America's Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters 2024 - Large Size Companies

America's Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters 2024

Getting a career started is never easy. First-day stumbling blocks can give way to larger questions about choosing the right career path. Imposter syndrome, information overload, the challenge of new colleagues: it's almost enough to make you miss the routine of sending out endless résumés to online job descriptions.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in December 2023 that there were more job openings than applicants (with 0.7 applicants per opening), a trend that has held since May 2021. That means the landscape favors people on the lookout for work. But even with an abundance of open positions, people just entering the workforce should consider their options carefully, to get a real sense of which companies will help them flourish as they begin their careers.

To help improve the job-finding process, Newsweek has partnered with Plant-A, a data intelligence firm, for the second annual ranking of companies that excel at hiring people getting their careers off the ground. The data, divided into small, medium and large segments based on each company's size, is compiled from responses from workers with less than five total years of employment experience who are currently at companies with more than 500 employees.

This survey aims to benefit people early in their career by surfacing companies that could be a good fit for them. It presents a portrait across industries—including advertising and marketing, engineering, health care and software firms, among others—to highlight companies that are making the best moves to attract fresh talent.

We hope the ranking serves as a resource for helping to find matches between job starters and the companies looking to hire them.

METHODOLOGY
Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group are partnering for the second year to determine America's Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters 2024 recognizing the greatest workplaces in the United States by their performance on a range of relevant metrics from the perspective of job starters.

The methodology for America's Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters 2024 is based on a five-stage evaluation.

The first phase was a pre-study survey that interviewed HR professionals to identify current and future employee satisfaction drivers.

The second phase was the main employee survey among employees with up to 5 years working experience who reviewed employers they were familiar with. The independent study is based on more than 75,000 Job Starters who provide more than 540,000 company reviews collected in 2022 and 2023.

The third phase was an elaborate desk research project in which we collected overall 8 KPIs relevant for job starters in the workplace (e.g. reviews and information from social media platforms overall and with respect to career opportunities and a culture and management that fosters their career development).

In the fourth phase, we applied media monitoring, reviewing all published press of the past 24 months (12/9/2021 – 12/10/2023) of all recognized companies to identify potential legal disputes around the workplace.

The fifth step was the validation step. We calculated an individual company score based on our scoring model. The best companies in the tiers of 1,000 to 5,000+ employees and 500 to 999 employees have been recognized as "America's Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters 2024".

Additional resources for company data were ZoomInfo and Seamless AI.
