Search models are mixed
Senior leadership search, scarce engineering skills and volume workforce recruitment involve different sourcing practices, assessments and timeframes. The website must distinguish them.
Employers ask AI assistants to recommend a recruiter for a specific role, location and hiring challenge. I examine which firms are suggested and whether their sector expertise, delivery model and evidence withstand a buyer's review.

A hiring manager needs to understand sourcing depth, specialist coverage and replacement terms. A general list of industries rarely answers these procurement questions.
Senior leadership search, scarce engineering skills and volume workforce recruitment involve different sourcing practices, assessments and timeframes. The website must distinguish them.
Time-to-fill and placement rates cannot be compared without a period, vacancy classes, sample size and a shared definition of a successful placement.
Candidate CVs, private vacancies and client names require a lawful disclosure basis. They are not reusable marketing proof merely because the agency handled the assignment.
These are candidate prompts for an initial audit, not claims about observed AI responses.
| Employer question | Evidence needed | GEO task |
|---|---|---|
| Which recruiter can source a manufacturing technical director? | Verified executive-search focus, assessment stages and geographic reach | Connect specific leadership roles to supported experience |
| Who can staff a regional warehouse operation at scale? | Delivery locations, lawful case metrics, onboarding responsibility and contract model | Create a distinct volume-recruitment service explanation |
| Which agencies recruit hard-to-find B2B sales talent? | Relevant sector knowledge, sourcing process, role criteria and boundaries | Make supported role and industry expertise findable |
| How are executive placement fees and replacement terms defined? | Contract models, payment stages, exclusions and any replacement window | Explain actual terms rather than publish an invented universal fee |
I examine verifiable role expertise and approved service examples. Russian Federal Law 565-FZ governs employment matters, while personal-data legislation and regulator guidance matter when processing candidate information. Neither law endorses the performance of a particular recruiter.
This is a service-specific GEO methodology. It does not claim a completed GAEO recruitment-sector result.
The audit separates employer requirements before comparing AI recommendations and their supporting sources.
Record unbranded prompts for executive, specialist and volume recruitment, segmented by region.
Check supported roles, assessment steps, contracts, permissioned figures and candidate-data handling.
Prepare briefs for role-specific services, recruiter profiles, methods and authorised case descriptions.
Re-run the same prompts and check recommendation accuracy as well as BMR.
Three published monthly plans use the same GAEO prices across sectors. Final scope follows the baseline and project requirements.
I lead the strategy; your team implements website and content specifications.
I study your product, create the content and organize publication.
Contractual BMR targets: baseline +5 / +10 / +15 percentage points in months 1 / 2 / 3.
Start with a free mini-audit or a full GEO audit. A monthly plan includes 50 prompts and 5 AI platforms; broader scope is calculated separately.
It can introduce both, but separate buyer scenarios and supporting evidence are needed for credible recommendations.
Only with an appropriate lawful basis and compliance with applicable personal-data rules. Permissioned anonymous case descriptions are usually better for public evidence.
No. Role complexity, candidate market, geography and contract assumptions materially affect timing.
Branded discovery should be tracked separately from unbranded employer questions used in a baseline BMR matrix.
GAEO's published plans apply. Scope depends on hiring segments, regions, provider evidence and the agreed prompt matrix.
