JobCop Ledger Recap: August 5, 2026

Tracking employer behavior requires cold numbers, not corporate pitch decks. Across the JobCop platform, we evaluate how hiring teams handle candidate pipelines, ATS workflows, and overall operational clarity. As of August 5, 2026, the ledger reflects data across graded US employers, giving job seekers an unvarnished view of where recruitment transparency actually stands.

The Ledger Benchmark

Currently, there are 27 graded US employers on the ledger. Across this entire monitored sample, the average transparency score sits at 57.2 out of 100.

An overall average of 57.2 indicates a hiring ecosystem that functions mostly on automated baselines. When standard scores hover in the fifties, candidate experience is rarely prioritized beyond routine administrative tasks.

In the last 7 days, candidate submission activity stayed completely quiet across our intake systems:

• Graded US employers: 27
• Average transparency score: 57.2/100
• Anonymous candidate reports filed in the last 7 days: 0
• Cases opened with Dep in the last 7 days: 0

When candidate reports stand at zero for the week, the ledger relies entirely on existing system metrics, ATS tracking profiles, and employer verification updates. Candidate participation remains essential for pushing ledger scores up or pulling unhelpful employers down.

Newly Verified Employers

System verification confirms technical setup and profile tracking accuracy within our database. Over the past seven days, eight companies completed verification: Betr, Sembly, Inductivehealth, Relativity, Retool, Predibase, Firstup, and Kayak.

Verification confirms an employer's record is actively mapped in the system, though it does not automatically guarantee a high transparency score. Verification simply means the structural data footprint is clear and active.

Top Performers and Lower Tier Scores

Standing at the top of the board is Relativity, which holds the highest score on the ledger at 70 out of 100. Beyond Relativity, the upper tier flattens out significantly, with five employers sharing an identical transparency score of 57 out of 100: Rocketship, Epsilon3, Lyft, Asana, and Appsflyer.

At the lower end of the spectrum, Yieldmo holds the lowest position on the ledger with a transparency score of 52 out of 100. Just above Yieldmo is Goalbookapp 2, which sits at a score of 54 out of 100. Meanwhile, several other employers anchor the lower bracket with scores of 57 out of 100, including Betr, Inductivehealth, Amplitude, and Firstup.

For all top and bottom listed employers, specific ghost rates and median response days currently show as n/a% or n/a days. This absence of specific response timing highlights why continuous data gathering remains critical for applicants navigating these companies.

What the Data Means for Candidates

Job seekers routinely invest hours preparing applications, tailoring resumes, and completing screening steps, only to face complete silence from recruitment teams. Without hard data, candidates have no way of knowing whether an employer maintains open communication or leaves applicants stuck in an unmonitored tracking queue.

Whether an employer reaches a top mark of 70 like Relativity or drops to a low of 52 like Yieldmo, transparency scores strip away branding to reveal true operational performance.
