Almarai has secured a spot on LinkedIn’s list of the 50 Most Desirable Employers in the Middle East and North Africa for 2015. The list features the region’s most sought-after employers, based on engagement from millions of the platform’s 400 million members worldwide.

The list features the companies most sought after by job seekers in the Middle East, as it is based on measuring the engagement behavior of professionals as they highlight their career paths on LinkedIn, rather than on opinion polls.

Commenting on this list, Ali Matar, Head of Talent Solutions for the Middle East and North Africa at LinkedIn, said: "This list confirms that the companies included understand the importance of investing in and developing their teams and providing an ideal work environment for employees, and of incorporating this into their strategic recruitment plans—which will help promote their brand as an employer of choice, in addition to their awareness of the importance of recruiting through social media platforms."

It is worth noting that Almarai employs more than 40,000 people across its various sectors and is the largest food production and distribution company in the Middle East.
