Campbell, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/22/2011 -- As BAJobs.com’s contest to name 2011’s top employer in the Bay Area approaches its closing date, companies in the area are rushing to get their nominations in. From the high tech giants in Silicon Valley to the start ups in San Francisco, every company with a presence in the area is eligible to participate.

“We’ve been thrilled with the response that we’ve gotten so far” says Assistant Marketing Manager Mitch Kocen. “It’s great to see large and small companies represented. We’re offering prizes in two size categories, so companies that lack the resources of the larger companies can compete on their own terms. We’ve seen nominations from the big name companies you’d expect in a contest like this, but growing companies looking to raise their profile are taking part in a big way. When you’re looking to build a team at a fledgling workplace, nothing is better than a reputation as being an amazing place to work.”

Winners of the Top Bay Area Employer contest will receive an exclusive award badge that they can proudly display on their career site. The contest is free to enter, and multiple employees from the same company are allowed to submit nominations. In fact, according to Marketing Director Skye Callan, several nominations from the same company are encouraged. “With so many great companies in the Bay Area already participating, contestants need a way to really stand out as the best company. If we get entries from many employees, it demonstrates that the perks the company offers benefit employees at all levels. The more, the merrier! One local company had more than ten unique nominations!”

Employees who think their company deserves to win the Top Bay Area Employer contest can visit http://topbayareaemployer.bajobs.com/ and fill out the short entry form before March 31st.
