HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.

On the solutions front, SAP has been recognized as a Leader in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Workforce Management Technology, HireClix has expanded its Employer Brand Network with dynamic 1:1 job ad targeting, and TekStream has launched MissionTek Advisors to broaden its specialized recruiting and workforce offerings.
