For the second year running, Virgin Australia has taken second place in the Randstad Awards for the best employer in Australia.
The award, which was won by national broadcaster the ABC also for the second year in a row, is based on the results of the world’s largest employment survey into employer branding, and locally was derived from surveys of 7,000 Australian jobseekers about Australia’s 150 largest employers.
Respondents were asked to evaluate the largest employers against 17 factors that determine what drives today’s jobseekers and therefore Australia’s most attractive employer.
Other industry employers that featured in the top 20 include Qantas at six, BAE Systems at seven, the Department of Defence at 12, and travel agency Flight Centre at 17.
