Best Companies to work for
February 4th, 2008 by Lesley CowleyMy diary seems to have been crammed full with preparations for the forthcoming ICANN meeting, including drafting the Nominet response to the NTIA review (more on both later).
It was therefore really nice to have a non-domain name related day recently, talking about how to become an employer of choice and to receive our Best Companies accreditation award. It takes a certain amount of bravery to agree to enter this scheme as the independent ratings are based on what your staff really think about working for your company. Whilst we’ve still got things to do to make Nominet an even better place to work, we’ve improved our results from the previous year.
The event also saw the launch of a Best Companies guide web site that allows you to compare prospective employers and find out if the recruitment blurb is matched by reality. I can see this becoming a useful job hunters resource:

No escaping domain names though - it was good to catch up with a retired Nominet registrar who was also at the event :o)

This is just the sort of guide that young school leavers like my daughter need to be looking through to make sure they end working for a decent company. Nice post!

The link no longer works as published. They look to have rebuilt their site in Asp.Net.
Try http://www.bestcompaniesguide.co.uk/ instead.
