A position here is earned, never bought. It is worked out from what a firm publishes and what has been verified about it:
Be clear about the third one: client reviews are still rare across this catalogue, so on most lists today the order is set by the first two. A firm near the top is the best-documented and best-verified one we hold, which is not the same claim as the best one to hire. Use the list to build a shortlist, then check the firms yourself.
No firm can pay for a position. Sponsored listings are labelled and shown apart from this list. How rankings work
