Want to work at Tesla? Apple? Reddit? Netflix? You’re not alone.

Most people want to work for a company that is doing amazing work in the forefront of their field. And while we typically think of a brand as something that is relevant to customers and buyers, it’s also critically important to companies that are looking to hire the best available talent.

So Hired surveyed 4,100 tech professionals about the companies they most want to work for ... and I chat with two tech execs about the results.

In this episode of TechFirst, we'll chat with Vanessa Camones, a brand and communications expert and CEO at AnyContext. and Suzie Weitzman, former comms at Apple, now a senior VP at eBay.
