How NWjobs People's Picks works

We teamed up with the Puget Sound public to show local employers what they value in the workplace. From Sept. 21, 2007 through midnight on Oct. 21, 2007, we asked visitors to vote daily on the best employers in the Puget Sound area, in more than 20 unique categories.

On each category page, visitors entered their vote into the text box, or chose from a random list of other readers' suggestions. All voters were required to enter a code at the bottom of each page. This assured that the votes were cast by real people and not a computer program. We counted all valid votes. If we couldn't recognize a vote as a legitimate entry, or if it didn't fit within the category, we reserved the right to discard it. NWjobs further reserved the right to make final editorial decisions in cases of multiple ties. No special preference was given to advertisers or any business patronized by The Seattle Times Company or the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. NWjobs reserved the right to disqualify from the competition any businesses or individuals who attempted to unfairly influence the outcome.

Be sure to come back in the fall of 2008 to vote again in next year's NWjobs People's Picks!
