Microsoft is the most desired employer in Romania for the sixth consecutive year, followed by Google, Oracle, Bosch Romania, and ING Bank Romania, according to the study “Most Desired Employers 2026,” carried out on a sample of nearly 10,900 respondents. The study conducted for 21 consecutive years by human resources firm Catalyst Solutions is the largest instrument for evaluating employer attractiveness at the national level, providing a detailed picture of candidate behavior and expectations toward local employers. The Top 100 Most Desired Employers is built exclusively starting from the question “Which are the top 5 employers you would like to work for?” A high number of nominations for the title of most desired employer may be influenced by factors such as the size of the organization, its geographic presence, or the variety of roles available, according to the research authors.
