Methodology
100,000+ data points. 3,000+ employers. 100% independently rated.
How we score
Every employer receives a score out of 10 for each dimension (e.g., brand strength, culture and career progression) by career path, provided minimum data thresholds are met.
How we collect data
Scores are built from large-scale independent surveys and verified employee reviews.
| Ranking category | Data source |
|---|---|
| Brand Strength | Large-scale independent surveys |
| Career Progression Culture Diversity & Inclusion Management Meaningful Work Office Environment Recruitment Process Salary Satisfaction Social Responsibility Sustainability Training & Development Work-Life Balance | Verified employee reviews |
How we protect the data
A score is only worth trusting if you can see how it was earned and know the data hasn't been gamed. Employer League publishes its data protocol and designs every stage of collection against manipulation.
- 01
No commercial influence
Employers can't pay to improve scores, suppress results, or remove themselves from a ranking.
- 02
Identity and employment verification
Every review requires source verification. Unverified submissions aren't accepted.
- 03
Minimum sample thresholds
No score is published until enough data exists to support it.
- 04
Recency weightings
Older data counts less than recent data, so scores reflect the current reality, not a great year in 2020.
