Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“For most mid-sized B2B companies, Personio or HiBob are excellent choices due to their balance of functionality, ease of use, and scalability.” Mistral Small · Employee onboarding · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“like BambooHR, Rippling, Gusto (Ramp), or Personio, check if their built-in compliance modules are robust enough” Qwen 3.7 Flash · HR compliance · scale prompt · first choice

“I would recommend Personio as a top choice for new hire onboarding platform” MiniMax M2.5 · Employee onboarding · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Safer bets: Tools with strong governance like Personio (purposeful AI)” Grok 4.1 Fast · HR AI assistants · negative prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“a glaring absence of positive feedback” Muse Glimmer 30B · Applicant tracking syste · negative prompt · hard negative

“broad HR suites with basic compensation tools that typically lack the depth and flexibility of dedicated compensation platforms” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Compensation management · comparative prompt · soft negative

“BambooHR and Personio are fine for reporting but lack predictive modeling and custom metric depth.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · People analytics · comparative prompt · soft negative

“May have fewer features regarding complex US-specific tax laws compared to ADP or Paycom.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Benefits administration · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Personio. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 106 of the 111 answers that named Personio and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page personio.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Read September 29, 2026.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Personio's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Personio, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Personio by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Personio is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Personio, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
