One of the best illustrations of the demand for tech workers was the response to Yahoo!’s leaked memo on the end of telecommuting. Soon, job ads began appearing that read, “Yahoo telecommuters welcome”, and Twitter posts that invited Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) workers to “come work with us.” The post added, “We all work from home.”

While employee perks are only part of the picture, when big businesses need to attract the best workers without spending a fortune, providing a warm, welcoming, work environment with a few benefits can make a big difference. Especially when those benefits are unique. As tech businesses continue to think outside the box when attracting applicants, it will be interesting to see what they’ll come up with next.
