JobCrawls Employer Score
Computed from job data signals — not reviews
Strongest at pay
Also tracked, not yet weighted in
Score is based on salary competitiveness from posted bands (where we have enough listings), remote and hybrid flexibility, hiring stability over time, and growth signals from role mix and hiring volume trends. Benefits and ad-level transparency are omitted from the headline number until those feeds are wired into scoring. How we calculate this
