Employer Visibility Index

See how visible your employer brand is in AI

The Employer Visibility Index is a public benchmark, powered by PerceptionX, that measures how often employers appear in AI assistants' answers when candidates ask what it's like to work somewhere. It tracks 8,039 companies across 32 industries and 23 countries, based on responses from ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity, last updated 2026-10-19.

Rankings by market

The index is measured separately in each market, because AI assistants recommend different employers depending on where the candidate is.

Every industry ranking

Each company's Visibility Score (0–100) is the share of AI model × candidate-experience-theme combinations in which it is mentioned for its industry and country. See the full methodology, or query the dataset directly: JSON API (no auth), API docs, llms.txt.

How the Index works

01

Step 1

Track real candidate questions

We use real questions job seekers ask about the best employers in each industry, then normalise them into a consistent question set.

02

Step 2

Employer brand themes

Every question is mapped to one of our employer brand themes (like career growth, leadership, culture, and flexibility) so you can see where you win or lose visibility on what matters most to talent.

03

Step 3

Multi-model evaluation

Rankings combine answers from multiple AI systems to reduce bias and provide a more reliable view of employer visibility.

04

Step 4

Visibility benchmark

For each theme and industry, we measure how often each employer is recommended when candidates ask where they should work and why, then roll that into a single visibility ranking.

05

Step 5

Monthly recalculation

Rankings are refreshed every month so shifts in your activity, your competitors, or the wider market are reflected quickly.

Ranked on what candidates really care about

The index covers the themes candidates care about most — from application process and career opportunities to culture, leadership, inclusion and wellbeing. A company's score reflects how consistently it shows up across those themes, not just on a single platform.

FAQs

How does the PerceptionX Visibility Index work?

We run thousands of candidate-style prompts across leading AI platforms each month — asking which employers candidates should consider for specific roles and themes. We measure how often and how positively each employer appears in those responses, then roll that into a single Visibility Score.

What is the Employer Perception Score?

The Employer Perception Score is a composite measure of how visible, positively described, and relevant an employer is when AI models respond to candidate research queries. It combines Visibility, Sentiment, and Relevance into a single benchmark.

What is PerceptionX?

PerceptionX is an employer brand intelligence platform that helps talent teams understand and improve how AI describes them to job seekers. We track AI-driven candidate research across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and more.

How often are rankings updated?

Rankings are recalculated monthly. This ensures the index reflects the latest AI model outputs and any changes in how employers are described in response to candidate queries.

How does the themes work?

Every candidate question is mapped to one of our employer brand themes — such as Company Culture, Leadership, Compensation, or Career Opportunities. This lets you see exactly which areas of your employer brand are visible or invisible to AI.

How do you collect the data?

We submit standardised, candidate-style prompts to multiple AI platforms and capture the employer recommendations returned. Responses are parsed, normalised, and aggregated to produce consistent rankings across industries and geographies.

Do I need to be a PerceptionX customer to appear in the index?

No. The Visibility Index tracks employers based on how AI models describe them — any employer with sufficient AI coverage will appear. PerceptionX customers get access to deeper analytics, competitive intelligence, and improvement recommendations beyond the public index.
