Employer Hiring Transparency Read: September 2026

The Benchmark Score

The numbers across our tracking pool offer a plain look at how companies handle hiring transparency. As of September 13, 2026, the JobCop ledger tracks 85 graded US employers. Across this entire group, the average transparency score stands at 65.9 out of 100.

In the last seven days, candidates filed 0 anonymous reports, and 0 cases were opened with Dep. This baseline gives us an unfiltered view of where employers currently sit on the ledger, regardless of recent weekly activity spikes. A score of 65.9 shows an average that leaves considerable room for improvement across the board. Hiring transparency is neither universally broken nor consistently high. Instead, it remains fragmented, with individual employers pulling the numbers in opposite directions.

The Employers Settling at the Bottom

At the lower end of the spectrum, several employers are sitting well below the overall average of 65.9. These scores reflect performance across our standard evaluation pillars, which weigh overall candidate experience, reliability, and process clarity.

The lowest graded employers on the ledger currently include:

• Myubiquity with a transparency score of 49.
• 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 these employers, specific metrics such as ghost rate and median response time are currently listed as not available on the ledger. However, their weighted pillar totals bring their final transparency grades into the bottom tier of all tracked companies. When a company scores 49 or 51 out of 100, job seekers are navigating a recruitment process that fails to provide basic clarity or consistent tracking signals.

The Employers Driving Higher Standards

On the other side of the ledger, a separate group of employers demonstrates that clearer hiring practices are entirely achievable. These companies have pulled their scores well above the 65.9 national ledger baseline.

The highest graded employers currently tracked include Cribl, which leads the group with a transparency score of 76. Following closely behind are Supplyhouse, Koboldmetals, Asana, and Discord, each holding a score of 75. Alloy rounds out the top tier with a transparency score of 74.

As with the bottom tier, ghost rates and median response times for these specific profiles currently reflect n/a on the ledger record. Yet, their foundational scores reflect stronger operational hygiene, activity indicators, and overall sentiment across candidate touchpoints.

Examining the Sector Gap

The gap between the top score of 76 and the bottom score of 49 spans 27 points. In a system where the overall average sits at 65.9, this spread illustrates a real divide in how organizations run their hiring operations.

Higher scoring companies like Cribl, Supplyhouse, Koboldmetals, Asana, Discord, and Alloy maintain practices that keep them near or above the mid-70s mark. Lower scoring organizations like Myubiquity, Project Healthy Minds, Clickhouse, Goalbookapp 2, Cority, and Epsilon3 lag significantly, holding scores near or below 55.

Job seekers often encounter these differences without warning before applying. Knowing where an employer sits on the ledger provides immediate context on what type of hiring standard to expect once an application goes in.
