What stands out
- The lead is wide: Amazon (2,992 roles) is well clear of Apple at #10 (496 roles).
- Apple reaches #10 on a sample of 496 openings, a smaller market than most of the top ten, so its rank can move more from month to month.
- Amazon is the largest market in the top ten, with 2,992 openings behind its figure.
- Employers with fewer than 10 openings are not ranked, and small differences between neighbouring ranks are not meaningful.
Why this ranking matters
What it shows
Each job family has its own set of employers that hire most. A marketer and an engineer should not be looking at the same list.
How to use it
Pick your job family and follow the employers at the top. Read it beside the level lists to find the ones hiring at your stage.

How this ranking works
An employer's score is its number of engineering roles in our data, counted on the day the edition is built. A role counts when its job family is engineering.
Employers are ranked on the open roles we verified on their own career sites in the last 14 days. The list shows what our crawler covers, which leans toward larger employers in technology, finance, defense and professional services, so it is not a count of every job in the market.
Parent brands are combined, so Amazon includes AWS and Prime Video and Alphabet includes Google and YouTube. Hourly roles, roles posted by staffing and recruiting firms, and placeholder names are left out.
Sample bar: employers with fewer than 10 openings are not ranked.
Sources: NextChapter job data: open professional roles on employer career sites, verified in the last 14 days; NextChapter weekly company signals (open roles by company), for the growth list. Data as of November 2026.
Our job data covers professional roles on the career sites of employers we track, so figures describe that market, not every job. Spot an error? Tell us.
