Campbell, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/13/2011 -- Good news for companies from across the Bay Area clamoring for more time to get their entries in; BAJobs.com has granted an extension for the contest deadline. Companies now have two more weeks to prove that they’re the best place to work in the San Francisco Bay Area. According to Assistant Marketing Manager Mitch Kocen, it’s an issue of keeping the playing field leveled. “The contest allows for multiple entries from the same company” explains Kocen “So while some companies have quickly coordinated their entries, others are trickling in. We’ve been hearing that there are companies out there who want to participate, but just need a little more time. So we’re giving them a little more time.”

The contest asks employees to report on what makes their workplace special, from top level benefits to extended medical leave to green and socially conscious initiatives. BAJobs.com is taking the size of the company into account, so smaller companies without the same resources as the area’s tech giants are able to be competitive in the rankings.

The job board has been impressed by the responses so far. Marketing Director Skye Callan says “The sheer volume of companies that we’ve seen represented so far really highlights just how great of a place to work the Bay Area really is. There are so many companies that go above and beyond for their employees. I can’t think of a better part of the country to be looking for work right now. We just want to make sure that we’re getting a full spectrum of responses.” Adds Kocen, “After all, we’re looking for the best company, not the fastest company.”

Employees who think their company deserves to win the Top Bay Area Employer contest can visit http://topbayareaemployer.bajobs.com/ and fill out the short entry form before April 15th.
