  || methodology why smart sampling? Inthe past, companies were evaluated by 140 to 1400 respondents. Having analyzed the data and error margins, it was concluded that a large sample was not necessary when reliable data can also be obtained with a smaller sample size. Therefore, since REBR 2017, companies are evaluated between 140 and 400 respondents. The actual number of evaluations per company depends on the awareness of the company. The error margin is determined by the percent of respondents giving a certain answer and the sample size to which the question has been asked. The highest error margin occurs when 50 percent of the respondents give a certain answer. The error margin is lower when 30 percent (or 70 percent) of the respondents give a certain answer. example 140 respondents have evaluated company X. Of these 140, 50 percent find the company nice to work for. Taking the error margin at n=140/50% into account, the real answer lies between 42 percent and 58 percent. 400 respondents have evaluated company Y and of these 400, 50 percent finds the company nice to work for. Taking the error margin at n=400/50% into account, the real answer lies between 45 percent and 55 percent. 1200 respondents have evaluated company Z and of these 1200, 50 percent finds the company nice to work for. Taking into account the error margin at n=1200/50%, the real answer lies between 47 percent and 53 percent. Therefore, the difference in error margin is very small between n=1200 and n=400 evaluations per company (5 percent margin vs 3 percent margin at the most). As such it can be concluded that maximum 400 evaluations per company are sufficient in order to determine a reliable attractiveness per company. In practice, this means that every company with an awareness over 35 percent will have max 400 respondents evaluating the company. Companies with an awareness below 35 percent will be evaluated by 140 to 400 people (depending on awareness). 30© randstad 2018 | employer brand research 2018, country report usa.
