The six signals
Six signals, one culture score
We don't ask companies how great their culture is. We measure how their audience actually behaves — reactions, comments, shares, and who shows up. Each signal is scored 0–100 with a confidence band. Some are healthiest high, some are red flags high. Together they form a composite culture score.
SIGNAL 01
Emotional resonance
Ratio of emotional reactions (empathy, praise, celebration) to plain likes across company posts.
↑ Higher = healthierCulture cue
Psychological safetyEmpathy-driven valuesPermission to be humanEmotional intelligence in leadership
Companies whose content triggers empathy and celebration — not just a polite thumbs-up — are sharing things that connect on a human level. That takes a culture comfortable with vulnerability and personality, where leadership models emotional openness rather than corporate distance.
SIGNAL 02
Conversation depth
Whether comments are substantive (questions, shared experiences, real feedback) or shallow ("Great post!" and emoji strings).
↑ Higher = healthierCulture cue
Intellectual curiosityOpen dialogueLearning orientationTwo-way communication
When people ask questions, challenge ideas, and share war stories in the comments, the company is producing content that invites participation — not applause. Internally, this maps to a culture where dissent is welcome and meetings have real discussion, not just status updates.
SIGNAL 03
Community spam resistance
What proportion of the comment section is self-promotion, hiring pitches, and bot-driven outreach. Penalises repeat offenders.
↑ Higher = less spamCulture cue
Community stewardshipBrand integrityQuality over vanity metricsActive listening posture
A clean comment section means either the content is specific enough to repel drive-by spammers, or the social team actively curates — both positive signals. Companies with spam-filled comments are broadcasting but not listening. Their digital front door is unattended.
SIGNAL 04
Content authenticity
Does the company sound like a human or a committee? Scores conversational tone, vulnerability, specificity, and voice consistency across posts.
↑ Higher = healthierCulture cue
Trust and autonomyCreative freedomLow bureaucratic frictionTransparency as default
A company that posts "Raise your hand if you check engagement seconds after posting" has given its social team real creative latitude. That requires trust: leadership lets the team take risks, doesn't require five approvals per post, and accepts that authenticity means occasional imperfection.
We score 4 dimensions: conversational tone, vulnerability, specificity, and consistency — then weight them against format diversity across video, carousels, documents, and text posts.
SIGNAL 05
Audience quality
Are the people engaging — commenting, reacting — real professionals with real positions? Or bots, spam accounts, and follower-count profiles?
↑ Higher = healthierCulture cue
Industry respectEmployer brand strengthTalent magnetismProfessional network depth
When product managers, engineers, and analysts at named companies voluntarily engage with your content, they're publicly associating with your brand. You can't buy that. Companies that attract genuine professional attention have earned it through substance — not recruiter spam.
SIGNAL 06
Engagement efficiency
Ratio of high-effort engagement (shares, comments) to low-effort engagement (likes). A share costs social capital — people only share what they believe in.
↑ Higher = healthierCulture cue
Employee advocacyMission alignmentPride in workplaceWord-of-mouth culture
Sharing is a micro-endorsement. When people put their name on your content, they believe in what you stand for. A high like-to-share ratio means content that's pleasant but forgettable. A high share rate means people rally behind this brand — internally and externally.
Scores above 85 with few posts can indicate engagement pods or mandated employee sharing — a negative culture signal disguised as a positive one. We flag these automatically.
These six signals combine into a single composite culture score, weighted by signal reliability. Content authenticity carries the most weight (25%) because it's the company's own voice. Engagement efficiency and audience quality carry less (15% each) because they're noisier. Every score includes a confidence band — wider when we have less data, tighter when we have more.

"I almost took a role at a place with a gorgeous careers page. OrgPulse flagged a 38 on Content authenticity and a thin Audience quality score. Two reference calls later, both checked out. Dodged it."
DWDaniel W. Software engineer · Sydney
"Their Conversation depth was off the charts — actual engineers debating in the comments. That told me more about the culture than any careers video could."

"As a new grad I had no idea what to look for. The six signals finally gave me a vocabulary for the gut feelings I could never quite explain — and a real reason behind each one."

Pricing
Free to explore. Plus when you're job-hunting hard.
No employer pays us a cent, so nothing tilts the scores. You pay only if you want history, alerts and interview prep.
Public social-media activity — the company's posts and the reactions, comments and shares around them. We score the content itself (tone, vulnerability, specificity) and the audience response (who engages, how deeply, with what intent). Nothing is scraped from private feeds or paywalled sources.
Can a company pay to improve its scores?+
No. Employers can claim a profile and respond to signals, but they cannot buy, edit or remove a score. The model works the same for everyone — and we deliberately weight the signals companies can't control (Emotional resonance, Conversation depth, Audience quality) so the score is harder to game.
Isn't this just engagement metrics with a fancy name?+
Raw engagement counts reward whoever shouts loudest. We measure the shape of that engagement: the like-to-share ratio, the emotional-reaction mix, whether commenters are real professionals or follower-count profiles, and whether the company's own voice sounds human or like a committee. Six different angles, one composite read.
Which companies are covered?+
Any Australian employer with an active social-media presence — roughly 50+ posts in the last 12 months gives us enough signal for a confident read. Smaller footprints get a profile with a wider confidence band, clearly marked.
What about engagement pods and mandated employee sharing?+
We flag them. Engagement Efficiency scores above 85 with low post volume, or audiences dominated by employees of the same company, trigger an automatic warning on the profile. Inauthentic amplification is a culture signal in itself — and not a flattering one.
How accurate are the signals?+
Each signal carries a confidence band based on post volume, engagement volume and audience breadth. Low-confidence signals are clearly marked, and we never publish a composite score we can't stand behind.
Is it really free?+
Yes — searching and exploring is free forever, no card required. Plus is for people comparing lots of roles who want history, alerts and tailored interview prep.
