TNO selected from the 150 largest companies

Every year Randstad examines the attractiveness of the 150 largest profit and non-profit companies in our country. The research provides a detailed overview of companies, sectors and characteristics that are in demand and why.
The factors that play a role include terms of employment, working atmosphere and career opportunities. TNO scores particularly well on good reputation, financial health, interesting job content and job security.
"It is fantastic that we have won this award for the fourth time and even for the second year in a row. At TNO you work on smart solutions for the major societal challenges we face and you also get all the space you need for your own development and future. This is why we are still able to attract and retain highly talented employees even in this tight labour market. I am enormously proud of that," says Irene van den Broek.
