LinkedIn unveils the Top 10 Startups in the Philippines worth paying attention to
Starting and growing a company has always been tough, especially with the widespread inflation and economic uncertainty today, but as worded by LinkedIn, "innovative ideas are born in times of uncertainty" and the success and growth of numerous young companies and startups the past few years are nothing short of proof, and it did not go unnoticed.
LinkedIn has released its first annual LinkedIn Top Startups list featuring the emerging companies in Southeast Asia, 10 of which are Philippines startups "rising to the challenges of the moment and continuing to innovate and gain attention in 2022."
The professional network platform analyzed data across four key pillars to come up with its inaugural Top Startups in the Philippines List: employee growth, jobseeker interest, the engagement within the company and its employees, and how well these startups pulled talent from its flagship LinkedIn Top Companies list.
According to LinkedIn, the list is meant to serve as a resource for job seekers looking for opportunities to innovate, solve big problems, and grow their skills.
