Our Methodology

Every ranking on RecruiterRank is derived from third-party Google Reviews — no agency can pay to rank higher. We use a Bayesian adjusted scoring algorithm to ensure agencies with more reviews carry more weight, preventing small sample sizes from distorting results. For agencies with multiple offices, we compute a weighted average across all locations.
