    Can AI find the answers candidates ask about you?

    We put 40 questions candidates commonly ask about employers to Perplexity and Gemini, then test whether the answers can be evidenced in your own careers content.

    If AI can't find the evidence from you, it may build its answer from somewhere else.

    40 candidate questions · 10 Candidate Priorities · 2 AI engines · Validated employer evidence

    Free methodology: Perplexity and Gemini — both live-web — one sample per engine, 80 observations. Evidence is counted as found where at least one engine can point to verifiable employer content.

    Industry and market are used only to compare your result with other real employer scans. Benchmarks appear once enough comparable scans exist.

    What we test

    AI Evidence Readiness
    Can AI find your evidence?

    We ask AI 40 questions candidates commonly ask about pay, benefits, flexibility, culture, career growth and more, then validate whether it can find supporting evidence from your employer-owned content.

    AI Evidence Readiness produces the percentage result.

    AI Technical Readiness
    Is your careers site ready for AI?

    We also assess whether automated systems have a practical opportunity to access, read and interpret your careers content.

    Reported as component states, not a percentage.

    How it works

    1. We ask AI

    AI is asked 40 questions candidates commonly ask about employers.

    2. We validate the evidence

    Answers must be supported by employer-owned content. BrandScore validates the sources and supporting evidence before it counts.

    3. We assess your careers site

    We separately test whether automated systems can access, read and interpret your careers content.

    Your report shows your AI Evidence Readiness, Technical Readiness, Candidate Priority gaps and how you compare with other employers.

    How BrandScore measures Employer AI Readiness

    BrandScore tests whether AI can find sufficient employer-owned evidence to answer 40 common candidate questions, across two live-web AI engines: Perplexity and Gemini.

    Each question is tested on both engines with evidence restricted to employer-owned sources (40 questions × 2 engines = 80 observations). BrandScore then independently validates the sources and supporting evidence before they contribute to your result.

    Evidence from invalid sources does not count. Sources that cannot be independently verified are treated as unverifiable rather than as missing evidence.

    Questions span 10 Candidate Priorities including pay, benefits, flexibility, career growth, culture, leadership and inclusion.

    We separately assess whether your careers content is technically accessible, machine-readable and clearly structured for automated systems.

    Important

    Employer AI Readiness is a point-in-time diagnostic based on the AI models, employer-owned sources and retrieval methods available when the assessment is run. AI systems and their ability to discover, retrieve and interpret web content can change over time. Results indicate what was found during the assessment and do not guarantee how any AI system will respond to every candidate query.

    Technical findings identify conditions that may affect automated access or interpretation. They do not confirm how every AI platform crawls, indexes or uses your content.

    Your own content is only part of your AI reputation

    Employer AI Readiness measures whether AI can find and use evidence from sources you control.

    When candidates ask AI about you, however, AI may also draw on reviews, news, employer profiles, government sources, professional publications and other independent evidence.

    BrandScore measures what AI actually says about you, how often you're recommended, which sources influence the answers and how you compare with competitors.
