Best for what candidates ask about

The South Korean 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 culture and innovation: 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 manufacturing and industrial, the leader here has the 1st highest score. Elsewhere the lead changes hands: in Switzerland, AI recommends ABB first.

More than half of the 55 employers score 5.1 or less, while a place in the top ten takes a score of 30.8. The leader's 97.4 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.
