Best for what candidates ask about

The Italian biotechnology 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 interviews and career growth: AI recommends the leaders for these far more often than the employers below them. The gap is smallest on onboarding, where the rest of the list keeps closer to the leaders.

Across the 23 countries the index covers for biotechnology, the leader here has the 13th highest score. Elsewhere the lead changes hands: in Switzerland, AI recommends Roche first.

More than half of the 45 employers score 2.6 or less, while a place in the top ten takes a score of 17.9. The leader's 76.9 shows how far ahead the most recommended employers sit.

Most lists of the best biotechnology 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.

No. Any employer AI recommends often enough appears automatically.
