BBC voted one of the most desirable places to work

BBC have been listed as the ninth most desirable company to work for in the UK in the 2017 LinkedIn Top Companies list.

The list is based on billions of actions taken by LinkedIn’s 500+ million members and was based on factors such as the number of job applications and how long employees stay with a company.

Here is what LinkedIn had to say about us:

“No, not everyone at ‘the Beeb’ gets to travel to the Galapagos with Sir David Attenborough or design the TARDIS. But their work reaches more of the world than any other media brand and they know that everyone here will know of it – and have an opinion about it: 96% of the UK population spends time with the BBC every week, an average of 19 hours.

“A learning hub for a whole industry: The BBC Academy offers employees several hundreds of guides and courses in production, journalism and other job skills. The online resources are available to the wider public and in 23 languages besides English.

“Want to start a career there? The Beeb has made a particular effort to be approachable to entry-level applicants with a series of videos and advice about how to apply and interview with them; a welcome boost of confidence for young candidates and no doubt a timesaver for recruiters.”
