In the past few years LinkedIn has built an excellent reputation in the business world and that means there is some usefulness when they share statistics – especially when you know that by the end of 2015 it is likely the platform will have 400 million members (it was 364 million at the end of June 2015). LinkedIn recently published a list of the top 100 companies most in demand for jobs based on the interactions on the site. Here’s the top 50 of that 100.
