2019 LinkedIn Top Companies: BNP Paribas, the most attractive company in France

What is the methodology behind LinkedIn Top Companies? 

An analysis is conducted on the data generated by the 546 million LinkedIn members worldwide (including 15 million in France). This leads to the calculation of an overall score, establishing a ranking of the most attractive employers in each country. This methodology was designed to measure the appeal of a company’s employment opportunities, engagement with its employees, and its capacity to retain talent. LinkedIn uses a number of exclusive data items collected on its network, including: number of views, engagement among page visitors, the number of applications sent when a company publishes a job opportunity, and staff retention measured by the portion of employees who have been at the company for more than a year. 

BNP Paribas comes first in the LinkedIn Top Companies ranking in France
