Hercules Ranking System Explained

At Kratos Moving, we’ve implemented a comprehensive scoring system to track the performance of all our movers, ensuring the highest level of service for our clients. This system evaluates several key areas: attendance, customer feedback, damages, attitude and mindset, number of reviews, and loyalty. Based on their total score, movers are ranked in tiers from S tier to F tier, with higher ranks bringing greater benefits.

Movers in the S tier represent the elite—those with perfect attendance, glowing customer reviews, and no damages. These movers enjoy the highest wages and are always the first picked for jobs. In the A tier, movers still demonstrate high performance and consistency, with competitive pay and priority job assignments. B tier movers are reliable and solid but may need slight improvements to reach the next level. Those in the C and D tiers have areas to improve, with a clear path to success, while F tier movers are given opportunities for feedback and training.

By aiming for the top tiers, movers can unlock significant benefits, such as increased wages, more frequent job opportunities, and recognition within the company. This scoring system not only motivates our team but also ensures we deliver exceptional moving services every time.
