LinkedIn, the world's largest professional networking website, has released its newest global ranking of companies which are most favored by job seekers and employees.

Google, the most famous search engine in the world, won the biggest round of applause, followed by Apple, one of the world's largest technology companies, and Unilever, an Anglo–Dutch multinational consumer goods company.

The result is based on billions of interactions between companies and LinkedIn's over 238 million members. Member actions such as viewing employee profiles, visiting company homepages and following companies were also considered. To ensure an objective and non-biased ranking, LinkedIn, as an employer, was excluded.

The following are the top 10 most in-demand employers in the world.
