The Project
The ranking for America’s Best Startup Employers 2023 is based on data on employer reputation collected using a social listening approach, reviews about employees’ satisfaction and analysis of the growth of the company. To determine and award the top performing startup employers, more than 2600 companies were selected with in-depth analysis and evaluated on the three areas (company’s reputation, employees’ satisfaction and growth).

Scoring
Our scoring model is based on independently collected data on startups in the USA. The data is divided into three assessment areas (company’s reputation, employees’ satisfaction and company’s growth). All measures of companies are calculated based on their distribution and create three independent subscores. The subscores are then equally weighted to eventually calculate a Final Score.

Methodology
Concept
The employee surveys conducted by Statista R are carried out independently of the potentially awarded employer brands. This reduces distortion of the results that could arise from non-anonymous surveys (e.g. social desirability in response behavior). The focus on willingness to recommend and on general questions about working conditions allows for comparability across heterogeneous sectors.
Data Collection
For data collection, Statista R programs detailed online questionnaires that ask survey participants about work-related topics. Statista R works with leading online access panels worldwide to identify suitable participants. During the survey, the incoming evaluations are checked for quality & validity (interview length, variances, inconsistencies) and sorted accordingly.
Evaluation
For the evaluation, Statista R applies a scoring model that primarily relies on the direct and indirect evaluation of the respondents. This includes both the evaluation of the respondent’s own employer as well as the evaluation of other employers from the same industry.
Quality Assurance
For each potential award-winning employer brand, the number of employees and the headquarters in the respective country are researched. This step serves as quality assurance and is presented as information in the publication.
