“On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to recommend GoodHire?” 

According to recent data, GoodHire’s current Net Promoter Score is +63, a score that has remained consistently high over the last two years. We’re proud to share that this surpasses the software industry NPS average of +41, and places GoodHire in the company of some of the world’s top brands in terms of customer satisfaction.

What is a Net Promoter Score & Why Does it Matter?

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is used by thousands of companies and is a proven way to measure customer experience satisfaction and the likelihood that a customer would refer the service to someone. A high Net Promoter Score is a strong indication that a company takes customer feedback and satisfaction seriously, and goes above and beyond the industry standard to do so.

GoodHire measures NPS because “Customer Delight” is one of our Company values, and we need continuous feedback from customers to deliver and improve upon the exceptional support, services, and customer experiences that GoodHire provides. The NPS is a key top-level metric for GoodHire, and one for which the entire organization is held accountable. 

Here’s how it’s measured: Customers are asked how likely they are to recommend a product or service, on a scale of 1-10, and why. Those who give a rating of 9 or 10 are considered promoters, those who give a rating of 7 or 8 are considered passives, and those who give a rating of 6 or below are considered detractors. Subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters provides the Net Promoter Score.

GoodHire’s Scores Are on Par With Other Leading Companies

Companies known for their excellent customer satisfaction have Net Promoter Scores in the high 50s or higher. These include Trader Joe’s, National Park Service, USAA, Navy Federal, Southwest, and Tesla. Like GoodHire, these brands invest in customer satisfaction, and it shows.

Of course, Net Promoter Score can vary by industry. Multichannel banks, investment firms, and airlines have average Net Promoter Scores between 10-20. Yet, Navy Federal has one of the highest overall scores—1.8 times higher than that of the next highest rated multichannel bank. We are humbled to share that GoodHire’s Net Promoter Score similarly surpasses the software industry average of 41.
