Japan employer rankings 2026

Ranking badges

If your company is in the top 50 of one of these rankings, you may show the badge on your careers page, website or news release, free. Paste the code below into your site.

Rules. Only employers in the current top 50 of that ranking may show its badge. The badge must link to the ranking page and must not be altered. Badges and ranking positions are never sold. The rankings are built from figures employers publish themselves; a badge is not a government certification and does not endorse the employer. The licence is free and revocable, and a badge is valid until the next edition of the rankings: the image at the same address then shows the new edition, and an employer no longer in the top 50 should remove it.
