Claim this spot › What the scorecards measure
Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated the agency, compared with other Fort Lauderdale staffing and recruiting firms. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
