2018 TekTonic Award Winners

Meet five game-changers that are staying ahead of the HR technology curve.

By Taylor Thompson

With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic process automation, HR has faced a year of adaptation and innovation in their business practices in order to keep up with a rapidly changing field. Technology has not only become an integral part of everyday HR processes, but an expectation, especially in regards to organizations’ recruitment efforts. But what makes a company stand out among others in an ever-changing industry, especially considering all the newfound technology blazing the trail? Innovation. Disruption. And a solution that works to make life just a little easier for HR. These are just a few of the ways this year’s TekTonic Awards winners have continued to advance their efforts and drive the industry forward, and the reason they were recognized at this year’s HRO Today Forum in May. The 2018 TekTonic Awards winners have been recognized for their innovative contributions in workforce management, background screening, talent management, candidate experience, mobile capabilities, and learning.

Employment Screening ResourcesCATEGORY: Screening
PROVIDER: Employment Screening Resources

The tool ensures that applicants are automatically provided with only the federal and state-specified consent and disclosure forms that directly pertain to them, which eliminates confusion. Assured Compliance’s online applicant portal provides transparency for applicants and organizations like; applicants can track every step in the process and organizations have access to consolidated data to later use for audits. But perhaps their most distinctive feature lies in their automatic updating of disclosures, notices, and other required forms when federal and state laws change.
