Gartner's Magic Quadrant for E-Recruitment Software is based on an assessment of a company's ability to execute and completeness of vision.

"We evaluated vendors on the quality and efficacy of the products and services that enable their performance to be competitive, efficient and effective, and to have a positive impact on revenue, retention and reputation," the report says of ability to execute. "Ultimately, vendors are judged on their ability and success in capitalizing on their vision."

Regarding completeness of vision, the report says, "Gartner analysts evaluate vendors on their ability to articulate logical statements about market direction, innovation, customer needs and competitive forces. We also evaluate how well vendor vision maps to the market trends described above. Vendors are rated on how well they understand and leverage market forces."
