An EmployerLens employer health score is a number from 0–100 that summarises a company’s overall health as an employer. It’s calculated from five dimensions: financial health (35%), stability and governance (25%), growth trajectory (15%), culture indicators (15%), and transparency (10%). Each dimension is scored using publicly available data from Companies House, GOV.UK, and regulatory bodies.
How is the score calculated?
We analyse data from Companies House filings, the Gender Pay Gap Service, HSE prosecution records, employment tribunal decisions, and accreditation bodies. Each data point is weighted and normalised to produce scores across five dimensions, which are combined into an overall score. Our methodology is transparent — you can read the full details on our methodology page.
Is this a credit check?
No. EmployerLens is not a credit reference agency and does not perform credit checks. Our reports are based entirely on publicly available data. They’re designed to help job seekers and contractors understand an employer’s financial health and workplace practices, not to assess creditworthiness.
What data sources do you use?
We aggregate data from Companies House (company profiles, director appointments, financial filings), the GOV.UK Gender Pay Gap Service, Health & Safety Executive prosecution records, employment tribunal published decisions, the FCA register, Environment Agency records, Living Wage Foundation, Disability Confident, B Corp directory, and the Modern Slavery Registry.
How often is the data updated?
Company data is refreshed every 24 hours from Companies House. Gender pay gap data is updated annually when employers submit new reports. Enforcement and tribunal records are checked weekly. The score recalculates automatically when new data becomes available.
What is included in the full report?
The quick report gives you an instant risk snapshot. The full report adds detailed financial analysis, executive narrative, director timeline, score breakdown by dimension, enforcement records, gender pay gap analysis, ownership structure, and employer accreditations.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can search, view quick reports, and open full reports without creating an account.
Can I use this for due diligence on a client or supplier?
While EmployerLens is designed primarily for job seekers and contractors, the data is equally useful for anyone researching a UK company. Freelancers checking clients, procurement teams vetting suppliers, and investors doing preliminary research all find the reports valuable.
