## How These Rankings Work

Scores come from **Google Reviews** via the Google Places API — never from paid placements, and never set by the agencies themselves. We apply a **Bayesian adjusted average** to prevent small-sample distortion (a 2-review 5.0-star agency shouldn't outrank a 200-review 4.8-star one):

```
adjusted_score = (v / (v + m)) * R + (m / (v + m)) * C
```

- `v` — total reviews across all offices
- `m` — prior weight (**20**)
- `R` — the agency's weighted average score
- `C` — the platform-wide mean

So with a global mean of 4.2: an agency with **5 reviews at 5.0** scores 4.36, while one with **200 reviews at 4.8** scores 4.75. The second outranks the first because the score is backed by more evidence.

Multi-office agencies get a single weighted score across locations. Every listing is human-reviewed before publication. Scores refresh hourly. [Read the full methodology →](https://recruiterrank.co/methodology)
