Talent teams aren’t held back by effort — they’re held back by fragmentation. When hiring, learning, performance, compensation, and analytics live in separate systems, teams spend more time stitching together information than acting on it. Decisions slow down. Insights get lost. Employees feel the gaps.
But when those workflows connect, the impact is immediate and measurable. Hiring cycle times shrink; managers make faster, fairer decisions; employees progress with clearer development paths; and HR gains visibility across every stage of the talent journey. Integrated talent management is now a proven driver of business performance.
That’s why this recognition is so meaningful: ClearCo has received the 2025 Brandon Hall Group Gold Award for Best Advance in an Integrated Talent Management Platform, a validation grounded in real customer outcomes. Brandon Hall Group’s judges evaluate entries based on measurable results, product innovation, and the ability to solve critical talent challenges. ClearCo earned top marks across the board.
This award affirms that our unified approach is not only resonating — it’s delivering. By closing the gaps that slow organizations down, ClearCo is helping people leaders build more agile, connected, and high-performing teams.

1. Comprehensive Talent Functionality — Without the Fragmentation
ClearCo delivers connected talent management by unifying the core stages of the talent lifecycle on a single platform. Hiring, background checks, onboarding, performance, goals, compensation, learning, skills development, and analytics all work together — not as isolated modules, but as a single ecosystem designed to strengthen each step that follows.
But having all the features is just the beginning. What sets ClearCo apart is how our connected workflows transform separate tools into a cohesive, user-friendly experience. ClearCo doesn’t just collect data — it carries that data forward where it matters.
For example, when a candidate accepts an offer, ClearCo automatically triggers onboarding tasks, assigns job-specific training, and creates a new-hire profile pre-populated with information gathered during recruitment. As the employee completes onboarding and training, their progress flows into performance and development workflows. No silos. No duplicate entry. No missed steps.
This is the power of a centralized platform: every workflow reinforces the next, teams move faster with fewer errors, and organizations can scale talent operations with clarity, consistency, and confidence.
2. A Truly Unified Platform Experience
ClearCo brings all your tools and workflows together into a connected platform. This consistency means you’re never jumping between systems. Key steps of the process flow smoothly into the next, resulting in faster handoffs, clearer communication across teams, and a unified experience for your workforce.
When your platform feels this connected, users engage more, mistakes drop off, and work just gets simpler. What does that mean for you?
- Less administrative headache
- Higher adoption rates for managers and employees
- Far fewer mistakes and redundancies

By prioritizing mobile-first experiences, we make sure we're meeting the needs of all employees, including deskless and hourly workers.
Why Integrated Talent Management Is Hard — And Why We’ve Built It Differently
Bringing together all of your data and workflows across the employee lifecycle is not a simple task. Integration takes more than flipping a switch. It demands a clear strategy, the right technology, and persistent effort to build real, lasting connections.
Our Philosophy Is Different
We believe talent success hinges on three things: context, continuity, and clarity. Context means teams have the information they need, when they need it. Continuity keeps workflows moving smoothly from one step to the next. Clarity makes it easy for everyone to see what matters most and act fast. The right platform is behind it all, reducing friction and helping everyone do their best work.
We built our platform to close the gaps other systems leave behind. Instead of stacking disjointed modules, we build on shared components and unified workflows that move seamlessly from hiring to onboarding, performance, compensation management, and beyond.
With ClearCo, data flows smoothly, processes aren’t interrupted, and users don’t waste time jumping between systems. It’s simple and intuitive, so you can focus on helping your people succeed.
What Clients Are Saying
We’re incredibly proud of our unified talent platform, but there’s nothing better than hearing it from our clients. The real test is how it feels to the user. Does it complicate your day, or does it clear the path?
The verdict is in: ClearCo’s simplicity wins.
- "The best thing about ClearCompany is how simple it is to use." Ease of adoption is critical. Clients love that "everything you need is right where you expect it to be."
- "We’re able to move faster." One client noted that ClearCo "keeps everything connected, which has noticeably improved speed and quality of hires."
- "It just makes daily work smoother." Forget about tool fatigue. Our clients appreciate how the platform "brings multiple HR tasks into one system," saving time and reducing the "manual work" that usually drags HR down.
When the platform works with you rather than against you, the difference is night and day.
ClearCo’s Commitment To More Connection, More Intelligence, More Impact
This win validates our vision and fuels our momentum for 2026 and beyond. We’re not satisfied with following — we’re setting the pace for the industry and defining the future of technology.
We’re always keeping three steps ahead, anticipating what the market needs before it even knows it wants it. That’s how you build a true advantage, and that’s why we are doubling down on:
- Skills intelligence and contextual insights. Skills are the connective tissue of the platform, linking hiring, performance, learning, and compensation, so every decision is better informed.
- AI and agentic automation. Expanding automation unlocks speed and consistency across workflows — all powered by shared skills data.
- Deeper analytics and benchmarking. Predictive insights will help talent teams see what’s coming, not just measure what’s happened.
- Enhanced support for high-volume and deskless industries. These teams rely on seamless workflow orchestration, and we’re building to meet that need at scale.
