• Women focus on job security and career development
• Men want to work with with fighter jets, naval destroyers and big trucks
• ABC, Virgin Australia and BAE Systems voted top three desired employers

MEN still haven't outgrown their childhood fantasies of working with fighter jets, naval destroyers and big trucks, with weapons and security giant BAE Systems voted the most desirable place to work for Aussie blokes.

Richard Branson's Virgin Australia and mining giant Rio Tinto rounded out the Australian male's top three - according to a survey of 7000 jobseekers by recruitment company Randstad - confirming their undying love of big boys' toys.

Women are more interested in job security and career development, with the ABC, the Department of Health and Ageing and Channel Seven the most popular.

Randstad group director Steve Shepherd said men are craving organisations with strong leadership, career progression and financial reward.

"The top three employers for men show there is still a big boys' toys element about it," he said.

"Men are looking for a place that allows them to share their knowledge and that is well paid. BAE Systems have proven to be a very attractive employer with males.

"Women appear to be more drawn to employers with interesting job content, flexible working options, and learning and development opportunities as opposed to straight career progression."

The ABC was the overall winner of the Randstad Award.

Randstad Asia Pacific managing director Deb Loveridge said the public broadcaster's win follows a solid performance in the 2012 awards.

"In terms of attractiveness amongst the Australian population, the ABC is particularly attractive to women and the older generation (60-64 years of age)," she said.

"It ranked extremely favourably across all key criteria including interesting job content, good learning and development opportunities, long term job security, career progression opportunities, strong workplace culture and their ability to offer a good work/life balance."

Jobseekers aged 15-24 most wanted to work for accounting multinational KPMG and James Packer's Crown, while Virgin Australia and the ABC proved popular with the 25-39-year-old crowd.

Mr Shepherd said KPMG's options for working overseas was one of the big pull factors for young people.
