Project Details
About the project
First published in 2024 and now in its third edition, America’s Dream Employers 2027 draws on feedback from students and professionals across the United States, backed by a detailed methodology for evaluating companies. The project sets out to highlight the workplaces people most want to join and to give employers and job seekers a clearer benchmark for understanding the job market.
More than 10,000 students shared their views on their dream employers in an independent online survey. Participants indicated how excited they would be to receive a job offer from each company and rated them on the areas that define a strong employer, including workplace culture, salary, development opportunities, image, and overall working conditions. Employees at nominated organizations participated in the survey as well.
Out of 2,500 shortlisted companies, the final ranking honors 500 dream employers nationwide.
Scoring
How do we identify America’s dream employers?
Our scoring model combines independently collected student evaluations with dream employer nominations. The data is processed to identify the employers that students are most excited to join and to create a ranking of the highest-rated dream employers in the United States.
Direct score
The direct score reflects how current and former employees of nominated companies rate their employer, based on their willingness to recommend it and their assessment of areas such as company culture, salary, workplace, and development opportunities.
Dream employer nominations
Dream employer nominations reflect students’ preferences for the companies they would most like to join. Students were asked to name their dream employer and rate how excited they would be to receive a job offer from that company.
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 America's Dream Employers 2027 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
For data collection, our team of analysts creates detailed online questionnaires that ask survey participants about work-related topics. By working with leading online access panels worldwide, suitable participants are identified and surveyed independently of potentially awarded employer brands. Survey responses are then checked for quality and validity (interview length, variances, inconsistencies) and sorted accordingly.
03 Evaluation
To evaluate the data, we apply a scoring model that combines direct feedback on the participants’ own employers with indirect feedback on other employers within their professional fields.
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.

Our media partner
