  "summary": "Kohl'S is tracked across AI employer visibility rankings in the Retail sector. When candidates research the company through AI, it appears in a moderate share of employer-related queries — ranking #21 out of 63 Retail companies in the PerceptionX index.\n\nAI models most frequently position Kohl'S alongside Target, Costco, and The Home Depot when discussing Retail employers.\n\nThe company shows strongest employer visibility in Inclusion and Interview Experience. Visibility gaps exist in Application & Communication, Candidate Feedback and Career Opportunities, where competitors tend to dominate the AI narrative.\n\nKohl'S's Visibility Score has risen from 2.1 to 10.3 across its last 4 measurements (since January 2026), climbing 38 places in the Retail rankings. Over that period it has moved ahead of Sephora and Dollar Tree. Walgreens has moved ahead of it. It now trails Wegmans by 2.5 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.",
