How we ranked
Every company in the ENTRA 100 was scored on five dimensions, each weighted equally:
- Hiring Velocity — pace of net-new AI hiring over the trailing twelve months
- Compensation Competitiveness — pay against role-matched benchmarks across geographies
- Retention — voluntary attrition in AI functions, normalized for tenure
- Mission Alignment — coherence between public mission and verified internal direction
- Verified Experience — structured interviews with current employees, weighted by tenure
Companies receive a composite score and an ENTRA Talent Index rating: AAA, AA+, AA, A+, or A.
The full list of 100 will publish in November as the Annual Top 100 Issue. This is the working preview.
The May preview includes the top 10. Full top-100 publishes November 2026 with print edition mailed to listed CEOs.
