Best for what candidates ask about

The UAE AI employer AI recommends most when candidates ask about each topic.

By role

Who AI recommends to engineers is not who it recommends to salespeople. Each role has its own ranking.

About this ranking

This is the first measurement of this ranking, so there is no earlier order to compare it with yet.

What separates the top five from the rest is pay and culture: AI recommends the leaders for these far more often than the employers below them. The gap is smallest on leadership, where the rest of the list keeps closer to the leaders.

Across the 23 countries the index covers for AI, the leader here has the 19th highest score. Microsoft also leads in Ireland.

More than half of the 156 employers score 2.6 or less, while a place in the top ten takes a score of 17.9. The leader's 61.5 shows how far ahead the most recommended employers sit.

Most lists of the best AI companies to work for come from employee surveys or awards. This one tracks what AI tells job seekers, because many candidates now ask AI where to work before they open a careers page.

How does the Employer Visibility Index work?

We ask AI assistants the questions job seekers ask about employers, by industry, country and role. We record which employers they recommend and turn that into a Visibility score out of 100.

How often are rankings updated?

Rankings refresh with each new round of AI answers. Each page shows the date its data was updated, and the arrows next to each score show how an employer has moved since the previous measurement.

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

No. Any employer AI recommends often enough appears automatically. Customers get the full picture behind their Visibility score and well beyond it: how positively AI describes them (Sentiment), the themes it links them with, the sources it relies on, custom reports by country and role, and clear steps to improve how candidates see them.
