Guess Which Company Is Winning The War For Tech Talent

Of all the big tech companies competing for engineering talent, Twitter has fared the best while Yahoo is doing the worst. That's according to statistics released by TopProspect, which helps companies find technical employees based on peer recommendations.

The company analyzed its 2.5 million user profiles for people who have switched jobs in the last two years, and found that for every one person who left Twitter, the company hired 10.9 more. Other companies with a great hired-to-left ratio include the other pre-IPO giants: Facebook (8.1 to 1), Zynga (8.0), LinkedIn (7.5), and Groupon (3.5). In the losers' bracket, Yahoo hired only 0.3 TopProspect employees for every one who left and Microsoft's ratio was 0.4. Other slow growers include Intuit and Google, both with a ratio of 1.2.
