TechTarget Named One of "Best Places to Work" in Massachusetts for Second Year in a Row

Boston Business Journal Recognizes TechTarget for Creating a Positive Work Environment that Attracts and Retains Employees

NEEDHAM, Mass. – May 17, 2005 – Information technology (IT) media company TechTarget announced today that it has been selected by the Boston Business Journal as one of the "Best Places to Work" in Massachusetts. Only 60 companies earned a spot on the newspaper’s annual list, which honors companies that have created a positive, satisfying work environment that enables them to attract and retain employees.

Boston Business Journal editors compiled the “Best Places to Work” list based on the results of more than 18,000 employee-satisfaction surveys on such factors as work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction and advancement opportunities, management, compensation, and benefits. The confidential survey was conducted by QMR Market Research, Inc.

"We are proud to be recognized once again as one of the best places to work in Massachusetts," said Arden Port, TechTarget vice president of human resources. "We believe TechTarget's work culture and the degree of autonomy we encourage in our employees has been a major force behind the company's remarkable growth. We give our employees the tools and flexibility they need to achieve balance in their lives and enhance productivity at work, and we measure them on results. It's a formula that has allowed us grow our business by attracting and retaining the top talent in the industry."

"Accommodating employees’ personal needs pays back dividends of loyalty and productivity,” said Boston Business Journal publisher Mike Olivieri. “The companies on our list recognize that their commitment to employees is especially important as the economy strengthens and competition for talent continues to grow.”

Headquartered in Needham, MA, TechTarget employs over 400 employees in Massachusetts, in the company’s San Francisco sales office, and in other locations across the country. The company continues to hire aggressively to accommodate growth and projects it will have over 500 employees by year-end.
