Comparably’s 9th annual list of HR Teams highlights the top-rated companies for HR, Recruitment and Talent Acquisition professionals — based entirely on feedback from employees in HR departments over the past year.

Methodology
- The 9th Annual HR Teams list is derived solely from employees in HR departments who anonymously submitted feedback to nearly 20 workplace questions over the past year to Comparably.com.
- Questions were asked in a variety of data-driven formats (True/False, Yes/No, 1-10 scale, multiple choice). The answer to each question was then given a numerical score and compared to companies of similar size.
- Additional weight was given to companies with more participation from their employee base, relative to their company size, for statistical significance.
- To qualify, Large companies (more than 500 employees) must have met a minimum of 75 employee participants and Small/Mid-Size companies (500 or less employees) must have met a minimum of 25 employee participants.
- There were no fees or costs associated with participating, nor was nomination required.
- The final rankings were determined based on millions of ratings from employees across tens of thousands of U.S. & Canadian-based companies over a 12-month period (May 11, 2025 through May 11, 2026).
