  "summary": "Kearney is tracked across AI employer visibility rankings in the Consulting 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 #22 out of 35 Consulting companies in the PerceptionX index.\n\nAI models most frequently position Kearney alongside Bain & Company, McKinsey, and Deloitte when discussing Consulting employers.\n\nThe company shows strongest employer visibility in Application & Communication, Candidate Feedback and Compensation. Visibility gaps exist in Career Opportunities, Company Culture and Inclusion, where competitors tend to dominate the AI narrative.\n\nKearney's Visibility Score has fallen from 5.9 to 5.1 across its last 3 measurements (since January 2026), climbing 1 place in the Consulting rankings. Over that period it has moved ahead of Cbiz. It now trails The Boston by 2.6 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.",

Responses from other assistants (e.g. Claude, DeepSeek) are collected for research but not included in index scoring.",
