SAN FRANCISCO - TelAve -- Buyers and hiring managers decide before the conversation starts. Fifty-one percent of B2B software buyers now start research with AI, not Google. The winning vendor is on their Day One shortlist 95% of the time, according to G2 and 6sense. 58% of companies now use AI in candidate screening, according to a 2026 Aptitude Research and iCIMS study.

To help professionals navigate the shift, brand authority platform OakBloomIQ today announced the launch of its free AI Visibility Score on app.oakbloomiq.com. The tool enables executives, founders, job seekers, and consultants to see what AI models report about their professional background before recruiters, investors, or potential clients conduct research.

The tool evaluates a user's digital presence and personal brand across four core pillars:

• Authority: Evaluates expertise, leadership, and industry recognition, drawing on publications, speaking engagements, awards, and citations that establish credibility.
• Clarity: Measures how confidently AI would recommend you as an expert in your field, a signal that depends on how clearly your value and expertise come through in what's publicly available.
• Consistency: Tracks how coherent and verifiable your professional story is across public sources.
• Discoverability: Reflects the overall strength, quality, and recency of publicly available online evidence.

Professionals can run the score for free, and a $19 upgrade unlocks a full analysis and model-by-model breakdown across five leading AI models: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok.

"Recruiters, investors, and referral partners form an opinion of you before they decide to call, based on what AI tells them," said Jeanel Carlson, co-founder of OakBloomIQ. "We built this score so professionals can find out, then build their personal brand to change it."

"The four pillars give people something concrete to work with instead of vague advice about 'building your brand,'" said Jeanine Jue, CTO and co-founder of OakBloomIQ. "You see how the AI models miss you, and what to fix."
