How is AIQ used for employer brand?

Quick answer

AIQ tracks what AI engines say in response to candidate-style prompts like 'What is it like to work at [Company]?', identifies the sources driving each answer (typically Glassdoor, Reddit, LinkedIn, and the company's own content), and benchmarks the picture against talent-market competitors.

Job candidates increasingly ask AI engines about employers before they ever visit a careers page, and AIQ tracks the resulting picture, which sources the engines lean on, how the answer differs across engines, and how it shifts after a company publishes new careers content or hits a media moment.

Prompts built around how candidates actually ask

Topics for employer-brand use are configured around the questions candidates put to AI engines:

  • “What is it like to work at [Company]?”
  • “Is [Company] a good place to work?”
  • “What is the culture at [Company]?”
  • Comparative versions against named talent-market competitors.
Illustrative mockup of a Google organic search results page for the candidate-style query 'what is it like to work at Northwind Health'.
Illustrative example only — fictional 'Northwind Health' brand, not a real company or real data. A candidate-style Google search ('What is it like to work at [Company]?') typically surfaces Glassdoor reviews, Reddit threads, and LinkedIn posts above the company's own careers page. These same third-party sources are the ones AI engines weight when generating employer-brand answers — which is exactly what AIQ monitors and benchmarks across engines and competitors.

What the platform surfaces

  • Source drivers, which sources the engines are weighting in their answer. Typical drivers include Glassdoor, Reddit threads, LinkedIn posts, and the company’s own owned content.
  • Engine-by-engine differences, how the employer-brand answer varies from one AI engine to the next.
  • Movement over time, how the picture changes after the company publishes new careers content or after a media moment.

The comparison view is often the useful one

Benchmarking the employer-brand answer against talent-market competitors is frequently more useful than the absolute view: it shows not just what AI says about you, but how that compares to what candidates hear about the companies you compete with for talent.
