Project Details
About the project
Published in July 2026, the inaugural edition of Singapore's Best Startup Employers 2026 ranking was created with the goal of providing recognition for startups creating great places to work.
To be considered for the ranking, companies had to be headquartered in Singapore, founded between the years 2011 and 2024, employ more than 10 people, and exhibit a startup structure. Spin-offs of large corporations without a significant amount of external funding were not considered.
Eligible employers were evaluated based on our scoring model, focusing on three areas: company reputation, employee satisfaction, and company growth.
Out of the 8,500 organizations evaluated, the final list recognizes the top 200 startup employers in Singapore, ranked according to our scoring model and grouped into 23 industries.
Scoring
How do we evaluate Singapore’s top startup employers?
We ranked employers using a scoring model that combines three research dimensions: the company reputation score, the employee satisfaction score, and the growth score.
Company reputation score
The Company Reputation Score is calculated using comprehensive web and social media monitoring over a three-month period, focused on employer attractiveness and employer branding. We defined key workplace dimensions and tested relevant search terms (e.g., employee engagement, corporate culture). Results reflect employer reputation based on reach, virality, and volume of relevant mentions, as well as the sentiment expressed in those posts.
Employee satisfaction score
The Employee Satisfaction Score is based on KPIs tied to employee satisfaction, collected from online platforms and company websites. We gathered and assessed employee reviews, average tenure, and overall employer relevance. We also evaluated the presence and quality of predefined criteria across topics such as benefits, culture and values, flexible working hours, and workplace mobility. Employee satisfaction is especially critical for early-stage companies: happy employees are more productive and often become a company’s strongest advocates and brand ambassadors.
Growth score
The Growth Score was calculated based on multiple signals and sources, including website traffic, headcount growth, and job openings. For many startups, the core objective is growth: important not only to founders and shareholders, but to employees as well. Growth creates opportunities to learn new skills and take on greater responsibility.
METHODOLOGY
How we work
Learn about our general approach to creating employer rankings. Further details about how the ranking was created can be found in the Singapore’s Best Startup Employers 2026 methodology.
01 Concept
For our employment projects, we evaluate and rank the world’s leading employers, highlighting organizations that excel in fostering positive work environments and sustainable growth. Our rankings help job seekers make informed career choices while providing companies with a benchmark to assess their standing in the global job market.
02 Data collection
The selection of startups to be shortlisted and evaluated is based on the age and size of the companies, as well as a substantial presence in Singapore, an innovative business model, high web traffic, and independence from other companies. A social listening campaign is launched for the eligible companies and continuously monitored. Additional KPI data is collected through publicly available company information from multiple, diverse sources to effectively measure the reputation, growth, and employee satisfaction of the selected startups. Incoming data is then cleaned and prepared for analysis.
03 Evaluation
The prepared data is analyzed with a proven scoring model to create a ranking of the highest rated startup employers.
04 Quality Assurance
For each potential award-winning employer, company information is researched and eligibility for the list is confirmed. This step serves as quality assurance and is presented as information in the publication.
