What makes BNP Paribas one of the most sought-after employers in France?

03.08.2017 | Group

In 2017, BNP Paribas was listed on LinkedIn’s ranking of the 25 most sought-after employers in France. On top of that, among companies with over 500 employees, it was ranked the 6th best company in France and the #1 bank on the list!

Determining a company’s appeal based on millions of accounts

For the second year in a row, LinkedIn published its list of “Top Companies”. Its purpose is to rank employers based on their appeal among jobseekers in each country. To compile this ranking, LinkedIn relies on a range of exclusive data collected on its network, including the following:

Number of views, meaning the number of times users visit a company’s profile
Engagement among page visitors, meaning the time spent on the page, corrections, likes, shares, etc.
Number of applications sent when a company posts a job opening,
Employee staying power, which shows how well a company retains its talents

These data points are based on billions of actions performed by over 500 million LinkedIn members worldwide—including 14 million users in France. In 2017, BNP Paribas came in 6th place among the most sought-after employers in France—climbing four spots from the 2016 list—making it the #1 bank in the ranking!

Recipe for success

The ranking confirms BNP Paribas’s appeal as a recruiter and an employer, since most employees stay with the company and appreciate their well-being at work.

What is the recipe for BNP Paribas’s success according to LinkedIn? Good benefits and a pleasant work environment for employees, as well as the Group’s values and how well it complies with financial regulations.

Moving up four spots in the ranking caps off the Group’s accelerated digitalisation policy and its many initiatives in favour of innovation, such as hackathons (unavailable link), support for startups (unavailable link) and intrapreneurship.
