Metrics use published anonymous candidate reports. Ghost rate combines no response after applying and ghosted after interview.
Transparency score blends ghosting, response times, interview count, and offer outcomes. At least 3 published reports are required for score display.
Submissions are voluntary, so negative experiences may be overrepresented; reliability improves as report volume grows.
