How DHRMap Signals work
Verified, not estimated.
Signals summarise what can be verified about an HR-technology company. A measure is rated Strong / Mid / Weak only when enough verified data exists — otherwise we say why, and missing data is never treated as a bad result.
- Primary sources only. Company announcements, regulatory filings, the company's own job boards and DHRMap editorial coverage.
- Independent. Paid listings, sponsorships and advertising have no influence on Signals.
- Versioned. Method v0.6.0; every rating can be reproduced as of its date.
- Not investment advice. Signals describe public evidence, not future performance.
