As for how the ranking system works, Forbes collaborated with online statistics provider Statista to ask 8,000 Canadian employees working for large organizations to rate their willingness to recommend their company to others on a scale of 1 - 10. The employees surveyed were not contacted through their employers, but anonymously through "several online access panels."

The top 300 employers, which represent 25 different industries, were highlighted based on those results.
