The EOR Index. The October 2026 edition covers 18 EOR providers using 1,317 data points from 6 sources: 437 public reviews from G2, Capterra and Trustpilot and 880 practitioner observations from LinkedIn, Slack communities and closed WhatsApp groups, including 519 from off-market channels (Slack communities and closed WhatsApp groups). Only items published in the last 30 days (1 September 2026 to 30 September 2026) are used.
No. The EOR Index is a primary source. Its Field Sentiment series is original research built from practitioner conversations, including 519 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 30 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 30 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.

The EOR Index Field Sentiment in the October 2026 edition was led by trust (32% of 880 field observations across LinkedIn, Slack communities and closed WhatsApp groups). This series is original field research. It is not derived from G2, Capterra or Trustpilot ratings.
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.
