Teamtailor is on ChatGPT's applicant tracking software shortlist but is not one of its top three picks: it was recommended in 10 answers and picked in 7, against 47 picks for Workable, the most-picked brand. Its weakest showing is on direct advice questions, where ChatGPT picked it in 1 of 20.

In 6 of the 7 answers that picked Teamtailor, teamtailor.com did not rank in Google's top ten for the same question, so Google rankings alone do not explain where ChatGPT sends buyers.

The ChatGPT data on Teamtailor comes from Teardown 09: applicant tracking software. Each teardown runs 100 buyer questions (category, head-to-head, alternatives and advice phrasing) through ChatGPT with web search on, logged out, United States, English, one run per question.

Every answer was coded under codebook v2.0 by two independent AI readers working blind from the published reader protocol. Each reader coded every brand mention as picked, recommended, listed, passing or anchor; where the two disagreed, a third AI reader settled the code. Across all answers coded under v2.0, the two readers agreed on 97.8% of brand codes.

"Picked" means the answer made the brand its own verdict: "my pick", "choose X if", a shortlist it tells the buyer to act on, the #1 of its ranking, or the direct answer to a "which should I use" question. "Recommended" means the answer assigned the brand to a stated case or fit ("best for small teams") or picked it, so every picked brand also counts as recommended. "Appeared" counts answers where the brand was recommended or listed. Every count is a count of answers. Use-case labels are quoted from the answers as written. Google checks use the top ten organic results for the same question collected the same day.

Limits: one run per question, one country, one point in time. AI answers vary between runs, so treat these as frequencies for this sample, not fixed positions. High Salience has no commercial relationship with any brand on this page. If you work for this brand and see an error, write to hello@highsalience.com and we will check it against the dataset.
