Methodology

Reboot Online sought to determine the organisation with the most searched for vacancies online.

The obtained dataset covers some of the biggest organisations in the world in 2021 and was gathered from multiple online sources by using in-house metrics.

Following this, each organisation’s name was inputted into the Ahrefs keyword explorer tool, followed by the terms: ‘[organisation] jobs’, ‘[organisation] careers’, ‘jobs at [organisation]’ and ‘jobs [organisation]’.

The total number of global monthly searches for the above terms were subsequently collected.

Following the collection of data, the results were ranked in descending order, based on the total number of searches for jobs per month.

The top 15 results were presented in the final table.

All online search volumes extracted from Ahrefs are based on monthly global Google searches.

All data was collected on 13/12/2021 and is accurate as of then.
