What “Top 3 in AI answers” means
A company gets the badge when it is in the top 3 on any single engine, by how many of that engine’s answers recommend it, not just name it. The badge names the engine, so a company can hold it on Gemini and not on ChatGPT. In Sunshine Coast that is Hays, AWX Labour Hire and HRM Contracting & Consulting on ChatGPT. Hays, AWX Labour Hire and HRM Contracting & Consulting on Gemini. Hays, AWX Labour Hire and WorkPac Recruitment Sunshine Coast on Google AI Mode. 9 badges, 4 companies. A badge holder confirms its website inside the report and puts the badge on its site, and it links back to this page.

a plain category question with one qualifier3 questions

How we measure
Each of the 80 questions was asked once to ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode in October 2026: 240 answers. We read every answer and record which companies it names. A company’s share is the part of answers that name it. Different spellings of one company are merged into one row.
Left out: companies outside Sunshine Coast, and names that aren’t recruitment agencies. A name AI gave without a website we could find is listed without a profile.
One run per question means a single answer moves a company at the bottom of the table by a point. Treat differences of 1 to 2% as noise and the top 20 as stable.
One email when the next run moves this list: who entered, who left, where you stand. No newsletter.
Questions about this ranking
Why isn’t my company listed?
Either no engine named it in the 240 answers we read, or it was named and we could not match it to a website. Search the list above. If it was named, its full report is ready. If it was never named, Findrix shows what AI says when buyers ask about recruitment agencies, which rivals it names instead, and a ranked list of fixes: the page, the edit, and the next scan ticks it off. It starts with the 7-day trial.
What is in the full report?
Everything we collected about the company: its position on each of ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode, recommended or only mentioned, its average position in the answer and what AI says about it word for word. It is free and open to anyone, no login. The “Top 3 in AI answers” badge goes on the company’s site when any engine puts it in its top 3.
Why would I subscribe if I am already listed?
This page is one snapshot. Findrix is where you control and grow your AI visibility over time: your own question set, 60 to 180 questions by plan, tracked for you and your rivals. On every answer you see recommended, only mentioned, or a rival, and which sites earned that rival the spot. Wrong facts come with the correction email written for you. Your site becomes a numbered plan: which page, what to change, confirmed by the next scan. A PDF report for you and your team. It starts with the 7-day trial.
Can I correct or remove my company’s listing?
Use Request a correction at the bottom of the page: we check the change against the answers and fix the listing. For anything else, write to us there too and we will look at it against your website.
