Industry Read: Ranking Hiring Transparency Across US Employers

The Current Baseline

Job seekers attempting to navigate the modern job market continue to face an uneven landscape when submitting applications. Across the 140 graded US employers currently tracked on our transparency ledger, the overall average transparency score stands at 64.1 out of 100. This metric aggregates performance across key hiring pillars, measuring how consistently organizations manage communication, application hygiene, and candidate touchpoints. With 140 graded US employers currently indexed, candidates have a structured dataset to evaluate how prospective employers handle their pipelines.

During the past seven days, candidate intake activity showed 0 anonymous candidate reports filed and 0 active cases opened with Dep. Despite quiet periods in short-term filing activity, the accumulated ledger data across these 140 graded US employers provides a clear comparative picture. The distance between high-performing and low-performing companies highlights a substantial gap in candidate treatment across different organizations.

Top Performers on the Ledger

A select group of employers currently leads the ledger with scores well above the national average of 64.1. The highest graded employers recorded on the platform are:

• Koboldmetals: Score 76
• Supplyhouse: Score 75
• Pindropsecurity: Score 75
• Discord: Score 74
• Algolia: Score 74
• Codeandtheory: Score 74

Leading the group is Koboldmetals with a score of 76 out of 100, followed closely by Supplyhouse and Pindropsecurity, both holding scores of 75. Rounding out the top tier are Discord, Algolia, and Codeandtheory, each sitting at a score of 74. For job seekers, targeting organizations with scores in this range offers a better expectation of structured processes compared to low-rated peers.

Companies Lagging Behind

At the bottom end of the ledger, a separate cluster of employers scores significantly below the 64.1 average. The lowest graded employers currently logged on the platform are Truv with a score of 48, Arraylabs.Io with a score of 49, Picktrace at 50, Collabora at 51, Epsilon3 at 52, and Crumbl at 53.

Truv sits at the bottom of the ledger with its 48 rating. While specific secondary data points such as ghost rates and median response days are currently unrecorded (n/a) for these entries, their overall composite scores place them among the lowest-rated employers on the ledger. A score below 55 reflects substantial gaps across key evaluation pillars relative to higher-performing peers.

Recent Verification Activity

Expanding the ledger's scope relies on continuous employer verification. Eight companies were newly verified on the platform in the recent update cycle: Rapidfortinc, Yld, Mcghealth, Manychat, Atariinc, Netomi, Thoughtworks, and Crumbl.

Among this newly verified group is Crumbl, which enters the verified dataset while simultaneously ranking among the lowest graded employers on the ledger with a score of 53. Other newly verified entries—including Rapidfortinc, Yld, Mcghealth, Manychat, Atariinc, Netomi, and Thoughtworks—expand the dataset of tracked employers available for candidate evaluation.

What This Means for Job Seekers

Evaluating employers against the 64.1 national average gives candidates a clear benchmark before investing time in lengthy application pipelines. Knowing whether a company rates at 76 like Koboldmetals or 48 like Truv provides essential context for managing your job search strategy. Understanding these baseline numbers helps candidates prioritize applications toward companies that maintain structured operational standards.
