Media Employer of the Year (MEOY)

Pathfinders’ Media Employer of the Year is the UK’s only annual award which recognises media companies’ ability to inspire and develop their employees. In our industry, perhaps more than many others, the war for talent has been the predominant factor in deciding which companies fail and which succeed.

Being part of the process to identify and reward those companies which invest in their people is our way of ensuring that the media and marcoms industry continues to attract the best and brightest candidates from across the UK.

At Pathfinders, we have surveyed thousands of graduates and candidates to ask what they value in an employer. 91% of those surveyed valued ‘a job with good prospects’ above all else, highlighting the need for employers to offer training and progression. They also related the desire for a training allowance above other more financially related incentives.

“In an increasingly candidate-driven market, ensuring that you are an employer of choice through initiatives like Pathfinders’ Media Employer of the Year will help give top employers the differentiating edge in these highly competitive times” says Sue McLelland, a Joint MD of Pathfinders Media Recruitment.
