  "summary": "Akamai is tracked across AI employer visibility rankings in the Technology sector. When candidates research the company through AI, it is rarely surfaced in employer-related queries — candidates researching this industry are far more likely to encounter competitors first — ranking #23 out of 37 Technology companies in the PerceptionX index.\n\nAI models most frequently position Akamai alongside Tata, Infosys, and Google when discussing Technology employers.\n\nThe company shows strongest employer visibility in Company Culture. Visibility gaps exist in Application Process, Candidate Communication and Career Opportunities, where competitors tend to dominate the AI narrative.\n\nAkamai's Visibility Score has risen from 3.3 to 4.2 across its last 3 measurements (since February 2026), climbing 8 places in the Technology rankings. Over that period it has moved ahead of Cisco and Cognizant. Capgemini and Ltimindtree have moved ahead of it. It now trails Zensar by 4.1 points.\n\nThis analysis is based on AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. Data is refreshed regularly to reflect changes in AI employer perception.",

    "description": "Visibility Score (0-100) is the share of AI model × candidate-experience-theme combinations within an industry and country where the company was mentioned in AI-generated answers to candidate-style questions. Ranks are computed per industry and country; ties break by mention count, then company name. Responses from other assistants (e.g. Claude, DeepSeek) are collected for research but not included in index scoring.",
