Best for what candidates ask about

The Swiss manufacturing and industrial 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 career growth and job security: AI recommends the leaders for these far more often than the employers below them. The gap is smallest on inclusion, where the rest of the list keeps closer to the leaders.

Across the 23 countries the index covers for manufacturing and industrial, the leader here has the 2nd highest score. Elsewhere the lead changes hands: in South Korea, AI recommends Hyundai first.

More than half of the 41 employers score 7.7 or less, while a place in the top ten takes a score of 25.6. The leader's 92.3 shows how far ahead the most recommended employers sit.

Most lists of the best manufacturing and industrial 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.

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.
