They may pick the au pairs and HFs, but they do not MATCH them. So, unless you know *why* every rematch occurred, you can't extrapolate on the "success" or quality of an agency simply from the number of rematches. So, no, what you think is clear isn't, if you know the first thing about statistical analysis.[/quote]

I don't know, I kind of see your point, but on the other hand, if an agency did have a really low rematch rate compared to others, it's likely they were doing SOMETHING right - whether it be having higher quality APs that were less likely to bomb, preparing APs & HFs better and helping them match using effective methods, filtering out terrible HPs, better LCCs that work closely with the girls to ensure they make friends and get the most out of their year or successfully stay on top of AP/HF relationships to mediate effectively when things go wrong....

There are 3 primary reasons re-matches occur :  Unqualified APs, Unwelcoming/Kind HFs, Incorrect expectations (on either side).   If an agency can successfully minimize those big 3, then their rematch rate would presumably be lower, and they would therefore be 'better'.     Same like EHarmony can make claims as to why they are more successful than other dating sites (no clue if this is actually true) using their 17 points of compatibility or whatever.  [/quote]
