Research Strategy:
In order to provide the top 25-30 top tech hirers in Kansas, we began the research by searching for a precompiled list of the largest companies in Kansas. Based on this search effort we were able to find Zippia’s list of 100 biggest companies in Kansas, Kansas City Business Journal list of the 50 fastest-growing companies, and regional employers by the KC Tech Council.
The list compiled by the KC Tech Council identified the companies as the region's major employers and also provided the number of employees. Hence, the list answers the question of hirers who employ the most people in the state of Kansas.
Next, we narrowed down the listed to just "tech" companies and reviewed the company websites for the number of current employees each company had and also to identify the number of jobs openings.
All the findings have been compiled and presented in 'Key Findings' section above and in the spreadsheet.
