Methodology

How our employer insights work

We focus on clarity, fairness, and transparency. This page explains how reviews are collected, how ratings are calculated, and what safeguards we use to keep the data trustworthy.

Review collection

  • Reviews are submitted by users and tied to a specific employer profile.
  • We ask for role and location to add context while allowing anonymous posting.
  • Each review includes a required rating and free‑text comment.

Moderation & safety

  • We review reports for spam, abuse, or content that violates community guidelines.
  • Reviews can be removed without deleting employer profiles to preserve integrity.
  • We balance transparency with privacy by protecting anonymous reviewers.

Rating calculation

  • Overall rating is the average of all eligible review ratings for an employer.
  • Sub‑ratings like work‑life balance and management appear when reviews include them.
  • We surface review counts and trends to provide proper context.

Data transparency

  • We provide structured data on employer pages to help users and search engines.
  • Our sitemap is updated regularly to keep employer content discoverable.
  • If you spot inaccuracies, contact support so we can correct them quickly.
