I have access to and have been performing detailed analysis of a much much larger data set than they have access to. Location, salary, which job boards you use, and how high you come up in the rankings of which job boards you post to will have an effect that absolutely swamps their "magic number".
When someone has a proprietary number that they show you to describe something - "Textio Score", "KLOUT NUMBER", etc, you're being sold snake oil.
Don't waste your money.

- habitue 11y agoThere may not be an alternative, but that doesn't mean it isn't snake-oil. (It doesn't mean it is either. Those two things are independent) But, what he's saying has a good point, whether or not textio is snakeoil: it's better to have numbers other people can compare to, even if the method for determining those numbers isn't made public.
