BestCompaniesAZ

A statewide showcase for employers

BestCompaniesAZ runs a platform that puts Arizona employers in front of job seekers, customers and community partners. Based in Mesa, the company says it focuses on organizations that are recognized for strong workplace culture, values-led leadership and community impact. Its flagship feature is a statewide award that honors more than 150 companies in large, midsize and small categories, and the winners are showcased across the platform.

How the awards are judged

The awards draw on a survey in which staff score the employer on 25 aspects of satisfaction at work, from pay to leadership, meaningfulness and appreciation. The company says it also rates companies on five areas: workplace culture, innovation, social responsibility, customer opinion and leadership. A separate award for Tucson employers applies the same employee survey to local businesses.

Jobs and career guidance

Beyond the award listings, the platform runs a jobs board for Arizona employers, including remote roles in technical, financial, operations and professional fields. Its career articles cover the job market for the year, which industries are hiring, why financial services can offer a route to a strong career and whether companies keep hiring during a downturn. A guide for people relocating to the state sits alongside them.

Who uses the platform

The platform is aimed at two groups: Arizona employers that want to promote their reputation as places to work, and job seekers, or people moving to the state, who want to weigh up employers before they apply. The company also runs an events calendar for the local business community and sends a newsletter covering career openings, recruiting events, job search tips and employer branding practice. Readers are invited to join the network for updates on events and career openings.
