Industry Read: Ranking US Employer Transparency Scores

The State of Employer Transparency

Job hunting in the current market requires seeing through vague recruiter promises and tracking hard data. Across the 28 graded US employers currently tracked on our ledger, the average transparency score sits at 57.5 out of 100. That baseline reflects a hiring ecosystem that remains middle-of-the-road when it comes to candidate clarity and communication.

Over the last seven days, job seekers submitted 0 anonymous candidate reports, and 0 new cases were opened with Dep. While the volume of incoming week-over-week filings was flat, the underlying scores across these 28 organizations give us a straightforward picture of how different employers compare against one another.

Who Is Leading the Board

At the top of the tracked employers, Amplitude holds the highest mark on the board with a transparency score of 72 out of 100. Betr sits in second place with a score of 62 out of 100.

Behind those top two performers, several employers cluster together at a score of 57 out of 100. The top-performing group includes:

• Amplitude: 72 transparency score
• Betr: 62 transparency score
• Figma: 57 transparency score
• Rocketship: 57 transparency score
• Discord: 57 transparency score
• Epsilon3: 57 transparency score

Posting a score of 72 puts Amplitude substantially ahead of the rest of the dataset, while Betr creates clear separation above the broad middle band of companies scoring 57.

The Low End of the Ledger

On the lower end of our tracking, Yieldmo holds the lowest score among all 28 graded US employers, coming in at 52 out of 100.

Directly above Yieldmo is a group of employers tied with a score of 57 out of 100. This group includes Inductivehealth, Asana, Relativity, Stripe, and Anaplan. Because a score of 57 appears on both the higher and lower comparative lists, much of the market is currently compressed into this exact middle tier.

Across all these listings—from Amplitude at 72 down to Yieldmo at 52—ghost rates and median response times are currently recorded as n/a. Without specific day counts or percentage rates attached to these profiles yet, the overall transparency scores serve as the primary metric for evaluating candidate treatment.

What the Scores Mean for Applicants

When the overall dataset average rests at 57.5 out of 100, candidates need to calibrate their expectations accordingly. A score in the mid-50s points to an application process that lacks clear feedback loops, even if it does not represent the absolute bottom of the scale.

Knowing where an employer falls on the ledger allows you to make informed decisions about where to invest your energy. Submitting an application to Yieldmo at 52 involves a different risk profile than interviewing with an employer like Amplitude at 72. Tracking these scores keeps you from waiting around on cold pipelines. Keep your job search moving forward regardless of how well an initial screening call seemed to go.
