Top Employers for Tech Talent™ in India, the US, and the UK – 2024

Amid transitioning from economic challenges such as slowdowns and layoffs to a revitalized landscape marked by fierce competition for top talent, maintaining a positive brand image is vital to attract and retain high-quality talent. In an era where specialized functional and behavioral skills are more essential than ever, attracting and retaining exceptional talent has become paramount for organizations. Talent is the key differentiating factor, and tech employers need a multipronged approach to build, maintain, and strengthen their employer brand perception in local markets.
