Matchable ranked in the top 20 companies in The Escape 100
Matchable is a winner of the Escape 100: The top 100 purposeful companies to ‘escape’ to in 2022 (We were 17th - to be precise!).
Matchable has been selected for The Escape 100, a well-known campaign highlighting the top purpose-led companies to escape to this year.
With over 13,000 other companies nominated, we’re incredibly proud to announce that we ranked 17th overall - a position indicative of our mission, positive impact and flexible working environment. We ranked alongside social enterprise giants like Oddbox, OLIO, Too Good To Go and Moving Worlds.
The Campaign
The campaign was started by Escape the City. While on their mission to help 1,000,000 quit their corporate jobs and find work that matters to them and the world, they began to wonder: what actually makes an organisation different, forward-thinking, and impactful? They came up with a scoring system (Impact, People, Mission, Planet, Innovation and B-Corp) to rank companies - and ‘The Escape 100’ was born.
This campaign is especially poignant at this moment in working history - with the pandemic giving people the opportunity to reflect on what really matters to them, and with new meaning brought to the phrase ‘flexible working’, employees have begun to reconsider their workplace priorities. Many are beginning to seek meaningful, flexible and forward-thinking work environments (as reported by The Times) over traditional corporate working culture. In Escape the City’s recent survey of 1500 job-seekers, 89% want a career with a clear sense of purpose (up from 71% in 2015), with 73% saying that their reflection time during the pandemic has made them reevaluate their path. Furthermore, for 74% of professionals a flexible working location is the primary barometer they use when choosing a new role.
Foong, Matchable’s founder and CEO, commented on what this achievement means to the company:
“We’re so proud and honoured that out of 13,000 nominations this year, we came 17th on the Escape Top 100 with 10/10 from every single employee on our People score! We're still a young startup, so ranking alongside companies we admire like Too Good to Go, Olio and Earthly, means so much to us and being recognised for our flexibility, mission / purpose and team wellbeing is everything I could have hoped for as a founder!’
