Ask AI for recruitment agencies,
and you get a different answer than Google gives you.
We put the same question to ChatGPT and Google Gemini, and compared their answers with the businesses actually ranking in Google search . The two lists barely overlap — and the two AI assistants didn't name a single business in common.
What the AI assistants answer
ChatGPT names
- Goperfect
- Paradox
- Workable
- Juicebox (peoplegpt)
- Onhires
- Gem
- Hirevue
- Gbsh consult group
Gemini names
- Infinity hr consulting
- Hrspot
- Hands on human resources
- Ravix group
- Grithr solutions
- 360hr
- Fhh consultants (pty) ltd
- Dalimhr consulting
What Google ranks
- employmenthero.com
- reddit.com
- za.linkedin.com
- randstad.com.au
- wowrecruitment.com.au
- linkedin.com
- selectsoftwarereviews.com
- za.indeed.com
Note: 6 of those are directories or booking platforms (reddit.com, za.linkedin.com, linkedin.com…), not local businesses. AI assistants tend to name the business; Google often ranks the platform in front of it.
Where the two worlds disagree
Named by AI, not in Google's top results
- Paradox ChatGPT
- Juicebox (peoplegpt) ChatGPT
- Onhires ChatGPT
- Gem ChatGPT
- Hirevue ChatGPT
- Gbsh consult group ChatGPT
- Pronel projects ChatGPT
- Employinsight ChatGPT
These businesses are winning a channel most of their competitors don't even measure.
Ranking in Google, never mentioned by AI
- employmenthero.com
- randstad.com.au
- wowrecruitment.com.au
- selectsoftwarereviews.com
- aihr.com
- cipd.org
- hays.com.au
- adecco.com
Years of SEO work — invisible the moment someone asks an assistant instead of typing a search.
