ClearlyRated ‘Best of’ Industry Awards Calendar

ClearlyRated ‘Best of’ Industry Awards Calendar


A calendar of ClearlyRated ‘Best of’ industry awards and their registration deadlines.

Every year, ClearlyRated recognizes leading firms in professional service industries whose clients (and/or placed talent or internal employees) have ranked them in the elite class of service excellence.

These annual service excellence awards are based exclusively on Net Promoter® Score (NPS) ratings gathered through the ClearlyRated survey program. Eligibility requirements are robust, and all ratings are validated and measured against industry standards on an annual basis – with each year’s winners announced starting in February.

Award Eligibility Criteria: 

Winners for each industry award are selected with a proven competition methodology that eliminates error and ensures firms are unable to game the system.

  • To be eligible for a ClearlyRated industry award, your firm must be located in the United States or Canada.
  • Using the ClearlyRated survey process, clients (and/or placed talent or internal employees) of participating B2B firms are sent an online survey asking them to rate their satisfaction with their firm based on the Net Promoter® survey methodology.
  • Each firm’s survey responses are calculated and validated by third party research firm and competition administrator, ClearlyRated.
  • Based on industry benchmarks for the given award year, ClearlyRated determines the minimum satisfaction score that firms must earn to be awarded – ensuring client satisfaction and service quality of winning firms is significantly higher than the industry average.
