Etihad’s employees celebrate being named on the list.

Etihad named in LinkedIn's 'in-demand employer’ list

ABU DHABI, October 22, 2014

Etihad Airways, UAE’s national airline, has been recognised as one of the world’s most attractive employers on LinkedIn’s ‘Global 100 InDemand Employers’ list.

LinkedIn, a leading professional network on the Internet, announced the rankings at its 2014 Talent Connect conference held last night (October 21) in San Francisco, said a statement.

Etihad was ranked as the 82nd most in-demand employer among other notable companies, including Google, Apple and Expedia.   

Ray Gammell, chief people and performance officer of Etihad, said: “Being named one of the world’s most in-demand employers is a tremendous accomplishment. This is testament to our more than 22,000 people from over 140 nationalities who make Etihad Airways the organisation it is.

“Etihad is an employer of choice because we offer exciting, challenging roles around the world at the fastest growing network carrier in history. We foster a culture of performance and reward with excellent opportunities for career progression. We also offer our people a number of unique employee benefits, including the recently launched onsite nursery, ambulance service, a full-service medical centre, flight benefits, accommodation assistance and education support.

The ‘Global 100 InDemand Employers’ ranking is a list of the world’s most sought-after employers, chosen based on billions of interactions from LinkedIn’s more than 313 million members, said the statement.

The businesses are ranked according to the number of users who view profiles of their employees, connect with their employees, visit their company pages or follow their company, it said.

Ali Matar, head of Talent Solutions for LinkedIn Mena, said: “For Etihad to be featured in LinkedIn’s 100 most in-demand employers’ list speaks volumes about the best practices adopted by home-grown global organisations from this region. Great talent creates competitive advantage for all organisations, putting the emphasis on attracting the best candidates.

“At LinkedIn, we are proud to provide the platform on which successful brands like Etihad Airways find the professionals to drive their success.”

Etihad uses LinkedIn to recruit talented professionals globally and it provides the airline with a unique platform to engage business travellers and relevant decision makers, the statement added. - TradeArabia News Service
