The Top Employer Certificate is an independent employer seal that confirms your company as a highly recommended place to work. It is awarded through a structured HR interview and a representative employee survey — not subjective ratings or purchased rankings.
Here’s what sets it apart.

The Top Employer certification follows a transparent, three‑step process, designed to provide both recognition and actionable insights.

Your company sends basic information and then completes an online HR interview about your benefits, policies, and HR practices. This interview is usually handled by HR or management and takes around one hour, depending on company size.

All employees receive access to an anonymous, GDPR-compliant survey via personal link or QR code. It measures overall satisfaction and willingness to recommend your company as an employer — with core questions , with questions that can be slightly adapted to your organisation.

An independent certification body evaluates both components — each counting 50% — and combines them into an overall score. Companies that achieve a strong result receive the Top Employer certificate and seal for 24 months, along with digital seal graphics, acrylic display stands, and a tabular survey evaluation for internal use.

The certified companies can use Top Employer seal across the website, job postings, social media, and recruitment campaigns — and put it to work where it matters most.

If your overall result isn’t strong enough, you can choose not to use the seal and only pay the survey fee. This is what keeps the Top Employer certificate credible — and why it means something when you display it.

Certification as a Top Employer includes both marketing assets and practical tools for HR and management.
