Questions about OTTO

What is OTTO's reputation as an employer, according to AI?

It is 6th of 60 retail employers in Germany. Every AI recommends it for interviews and inclusion.

What does OTTO's Visibility score mean?

It is how often AI recommends OTTO when job seekers ask about retail employers in Germany, out of 100. A higher score means candidates are more likely to hear about OTTO when they ask AI where to work.

How does OTTO compare to its competitors?

Rewe and Lidl are recommended more often overall.

Why are Sentiment and Relevance locked?

They are part of the full picture. This page shows how often AI recommends OTTO. Sentiment shows how positively AI describes it, and Relevance shows whether AI recommends it to the people OTTO wants to hire.

How can OTTO improve its score?

AI learns about employers from what is written about them: careers pages, reviews, press and what employees share. PerceptionX shows which topics and sources are holding an employer back, and what to change first.

How often is OTTO's data 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.

Does OTTO need to be a PerceptionX customer to appear here?

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.

What does the full picture include?

Visibility is one of several metrics. Customers also see Sentiment (how positively AI describes them) and Relevance (whether AI recommends them to the people they hire), the themes AI links them with, the sources AI relies on, custom reports built around their own countries, roles and rivals, and specific recommendations for improving how candidates see them.
