Low Transparency Scores Show Hiring Friction on Ledger
A look at transparency score gaps across 85 graded employers on the JobCop ledger this week.
The Ledger Breakdown
The data on the JobCop ledger shows clear separation between employers when it comes to hiring metrics. Right now, there are 85 graded US employers tracked on the ledger. The overall average transparency score across all of these employers sits at 65.9 out of 100.
Over the last 7 days, there were 0 anonymous candidate reports filed and 0 cases opened with Dep. A quiet week for incoming reports does not mean candidates are having a smooth experience everywhere. It simply means the numbers currently on the ledger reflect the baseline evaluations established across these 85 employers.
Understanding where an employer sits relative to the 65.9 average gives candidates immediate context before submitting a resume. When a company falls significantly below that average, candidates should adjust their expectations around communication and process clarity.
Bottom Performers and Low Scores
At the lower end of the spectrum, several employers fall well below the national average score of 65.9/100. The lowest graded employer on the ledger is Myubiquity with a transparency score of 49.
Following Myubiquity, other low-scoring employers on the ledger include:
- Project Healthy Minds with a score of 51
- Clickhouse with a score of 54
- Goalbookapp 2 with a score of 54
- Cority with a score of 54
- Epsilon3 with a score of 55
For all of these lowest-graded employers, specific ghost rates and median response days remain listed as n/a on the ledger. Even without finalized response timelines, a transparency score in the 49 to 55 range signals that candidates are dealing with low overall visibility. When applying to companies in this bucket, you should assume that follow-ups will be sparse and timelines will be unpredictable.
High Scorers and What Candidates Should Do
On the upper side of the ledger, a group of employers manages to push past the average score of 65.9. Leading the ledger is Cribl with a top transparency score of 76. Right behind Cribl are Koboldmetals, Asana, Discord, and Supplyhouse, all tied at a score of 75. Alloy follows closely with a score of 74.
As with the lower-ranked organizations, the ghost rates and median response days for these top performers are currently listed as n/a on the ledger. However, higher transparency scores reflect better baseline underlying signals across hiring criteria.
Working with top-scoring companies like Cribl or Asana does not guarantee an immediate offer, but it does mean their overall posture on the ledger is stronger than the 85-employer baseline. Candidates should still maintain an active pipeline rather than relying on any single application.
When navigating your job search in this environment, treat the scores as operational indicators. Do not spend days waiting by your inbox for updates from companies scoring at 49 or 51. Set a personal deadline of one week after applying to move on mentally to other opportunities. If you choose to follow up, send one polite, direct inquiry and then resume your outreach elsewhere.
