The star rating is calculated by averaging the reviews provided by all clients the talent has worked with for a significant amount of time.

If such data is not available, the star rating is calculated from the fraction of work sessions approved by their past clients versus the total tracked by the talent.

If such data is not available, the star rating defaults to the interview rating of the talent at the time of the vetting process.

Other data including reviews from interviews are available on the talents’ profiles but do not influence their star rating, though they do influence their position in the search results.
