Companies can nominate themselves for the Best Places to Work program from October 1 – October 31.  Instructions for how to do this can be found under the “How To Be Considered” section of this webpage. 

The Best Places to Work program does not have a standard nomination form. To be considered, companies must submit information about their company through its Builtin.com Company Profile. You can find the seven things a company must submit under the “How To Be Considered” section of this webpage. 

Note: All information must be submitted through a company’s BuiltIn.com Company Profile, not a local market profile.

We highly recommend searching for your company first on Builtin.com prior to building a new Company Profile. There is a chance a past colleague has already built one for you.

If you do not see your company in your search on BuiltIn.com, we’ve created this guide to help you build one.

Yes. If your employees submit salaries for your company via our salary tool, these will be factored into your Best Places to Work consideration. Recall, salary information is fully anonymous and is not publicly tied to your company in any way. 

Companies who have some employees working from an office and some working remotely can still participate in our Best Places to Work program. Your “Workplace Type” within your company profile will determine which lists are you eligible for.

If your Workplace Type is set to Hybrid on your profile, you will only be eligible for the location-based lists, based on your office locations on your Builtin.com profile.

If your Workplace Type is set to Remote on your profile, but you have office nearest market locations also listed, you will be eligible for both the Remote list and Location-Based lists.

No. You simply need to have the required criteria completed that is listed in the Builtin.com eligibility tracker.

Winners will be featured on Builtin.com , which attracts millions of users each month. Built In will also be sharing a press release and have a dedicated social plan to promote the winners.

Best Places to Work winners will receive digital assets to help them promote their win externally. They will also have the attention of millions of candidates who are coming to BuiltIn.com monthly to find employers of choice.

Best Places to Work winners will be announced in mid-January 2025.

If your company is chosen as a 2025 Best Places to Work winner, you will be notified in mid-November via email. However, you won’t be able to speak publicly about your win until mid-January 2025. This allows you time to prepare promotional materials about your win. The email notification will come from [email protected].

No. Companies must be located in the U.S. to be eligible for the Best Places to Work program.

Winners are determined using an algorithm that assesses the perks and benefits information and salaries that are submitted to Built In. Each of these categories represent 50 percent of a company’s assessment. We do not assess any other factors beyond the information they provide to us in this program.
