Kendall Park, NJ, June 28, 2006 – Gerry Crispin and Mark Mehler of CareerXroads have completed their personal examination of the staffing pages of Fortune Magazine’s annual list of America’s 500 Largest Public Corporations. For the fifth year in a row, Crispin and Mehler evaluated the job candidate’s experience on the Fortune 500 sites. Specifically, they reviewed the site’s ability to Target, Engage, Inform and Respect the job seeker. “No sites instantly rose to the top of the ladder this year,” notes Crispin, “however some new firms have edged out their colleagues to make our Best of the Best list.”
The 25 members of the Fortune 500 that seem to best understand how to treat today’s job seekers are:
1. Agilent
3. Bell South
5. Capital One
6. Federated
7. Ford
8. GE
10. Goldman Sachs
11. HCA
12. Intel
13. Kodak
14. Lilly
15. Merck
16. Microsoft
17. Morgan Stanley
18. P&G
19. Sherwin Williams
21. Starbucks
22. Target
24. Whirlpool
25. Xerox
As part of this study CareerXroads also enlisted 20 volunteers to apply to each company on Fortune’s America’s Best Companies to Work For list. The results of this annual mystery job search along with the complete survey results will be presented at the 2006 Society of Human Resource Management Convention and released on www.careerxroads.com in July.
