No. The EOR Index is a primary source. Its Field Sentiment series is original research built from practitioner conversations, including 503 observations this month from off-market channels (Slack communities and closed WhatsApp groups), and is not published anywhere else. Its review scores are computed by The EOR Index from the text of reviews published in the last 31 days; review sites publish lifetime star averages, not these scores.
Review sites show lifetime star averages that can include reviews from years ago. The EOR Index scores the text of reviews published in the last 31 days only, and adds off-market practitioner conversations that review sites never see, so it reflects what EOR buyers are experiencing now. Star ratings are not inputs.

Known markups over mid-market: Deel about 2% (The EOR Index estimate based on reports from users and operators in closed WhatsApp groups, Slack communities and Reddit threads; the rate is not published). Estimates may not be accurate. To correct one, send invoices showing the FX rate applied alongside the spot (mid-market) rate on the same date.

The EOR Index is an independent monthly index that scores the text sentiment of public customer reviews of employer-of-record (EOR) providers published in the last calendar month. Each provider gets a score from 0 to 5 to one decimal place, published with its sample size. A companion series, The EOR Index Field Sentiment, labels named feelings in practitioner language from practitioner channels including off-market communities.
Each review published in the calendar month is scored for sentiment from −1 to 1 using its text. A provider’s score is round((mean sentiment + 1) × 2.5, 1), which maps −1..1 onto 0..5. The category index is the unweighted mean of scored providers. Star ratings are not inputs. Ties are ordered by the number of reviews.
No. Placement on The EOR Index cannot be bought. Scores come only from the monthly data.
Monthly. Each month is frozen on the 1st of the following month (UTC) and published at /p/YYYY-MM. Frozen pages are not edited afterwards; errors get a dated correction. August 2026 was published on 2026-09-01.
