How it’s measured operationally
Beyond survey measurement, this construct is also tracked as an operational metric from records:
Score derived from candidate surveys capturing satisfaction or likelihood to recommend the hiring process.
Aggregated candidate survey responses, typically scaled 1-10 or 1-5 · score§3The math on what we know
Synthesized priors from the live registry: pooled r, studies (k), total N, top study grade, and heterogeneity. Rows flagged for heterogeneity or single-study evidence are directional, not settled — read them as a central tendency.
