According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, startups added 1.7 million jobs between March 2016 and March 2017.
Laura Lorenzetti Soper, a senior news editor at LinkedIn, tells the BBG Innovation Forum .... “These companies are growing fast, hiring fast companies and are really gaining attention.”
She says companies were judged based on
Profile, Interest in company, Employees, Open to hires and Startups ability to land high profile hires
