LAS VEGAS, Sept. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, at the opening of the HR Technology Conference & Exposition®, HRExaminer unveiled its 2019 Watchlist of the most interesting AI vendors in HR Technology. The awards emerge from the company’s comprehensive research into the emergence of intelligent tools in the HR arena.

The company evaluated 200 vendors of intelligent tools. They then interviewed 70. Following an intake interview and survey, the 70 demoed their software and answered extensive questions about ethics, functionality, user interface, and their roadmaps. The resulting report, “Navigating the Maze: The 2019 Index of Intelligent Technology in HR” is being released simultaneously.

“Each of the companies on our 2019 Watchlist is demonstrating the best example of a unique value proposition.
