ASOS is number one in the Top 25 UK Businesses to work for

Online fashion retailer ASOS has been ranked the most sought-after employer in Britain, as a new league table (by Linked In) highlights the appeal of digital brands for jobseekers at the high street’s expense. The UK’s most desirable employers were compiled by professional network LinkedIn for its Top Companies 2018 list and saw a number of high street institutions fall out of favour with jobseekers.

In 2017, this same list saw John Lewis emerge as the most desirable employer, with Knightsbridge department store Harrods at number four. Meanwhile, supermarket chain Sainsbury’s landed at number six. This year, all three companies dropped out of the top 25 altogether. Online auction giant Amazon also climbed up the rankings this year, entering the top ten (No. 7).

High street banks were well represented, however. Lloyds Banking Group remained in the top 25 employers, with HSBC and Barclays joining for the first time.
