Who will take home the bronze, silver or gold medal?
The 2024 Olympics are in full swing right now in Paris (with vaulting and hurdles too), and if helping people find a job they love was a sport, we’d be gunning for gold.
So whether you consider yourself a professional athlete, a couch commentator or have no interest in sports at all, your next job could be just a click away.
With around 160,000 jobs listed on Reed.co.uk, there are plenty of top employers to choose from, but to help you narrow it down, here are five of the top companies currently hiring.
