The 25 companies candidates most want to work for

Online retailer ASOS has topped the list of the UK’s most sought-after employers to work for – according to the 2018 Top Companies list compiled by LinkedIn.

The popular brand name moved up from its second place position in 2017. This comes after a challenging year for the UK high street in which Toys R Us, Maplins and New Look were some of the most high-profile casualties.

Latest ONS employment figures show that employment fell by around two per cent in this sector overall.

However, one industry still thriving, despite Brexit uncertainity, is the UK’s financial services sectors. According to the list, employers in this sector are continuing to attract talent.
