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.
