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