A quick roundup of HR tech vendors making headlines.
Workera, the AI agent platform built to maximize human potential, today announced a purpose-built solution for enterprises to run proctored assessments for crucial hiring and certification decisions. The AI-native scoring observes candidates working through tasks that mirror the actual job and delivers defensible evidence that organizations can put in front of a hiring manager, an executive team, or their board of directors.
“In the AI era, the resume is no longer a reliable signal of capability,” said Kian Katanforoosh, CEO of Workera. “Workera replaces resume screening and inferred skill matching with verified proficiency at the point of hire, so you can stand behind every offer with defensible evidence instead of an educated guess. That skills intelligence is most important for the highest-stakes AI, data, and engineering hires that companies can least afford to get wrong.”
With Workera’s new candidate assessment capabilities, enterprises measure what a candidate can actually do before extending an offer, without slowing down the funnel or driving top candidates away. Workera auto-configures every program with the right guardrails so the recruiter doesn’t have to be a psychometrician to develop a candidate assessment. Hiring teams can select assessments from Workera’s signature catalog or create custom assessments using Compose. The verified, skill-level proficiency results are fed directly into an organization’s ATS, such as Workday, so hiring managers can hire the right candidates quickly.
Apply Government Solutions™ (ApplyGov™), formerly Monster Government Solutions, announced today its new brand identity, reinforcing the company’s position as a trusted federal technology partner dedicated to advancing federal hiring. The company also introduced FedHire™ as the new name for its flagship talent acquisition system, previously known as Monster Hiring Management Enterprise, reflecting its continued commitment to delivering secure, modern, and mission-ready hiring technology for federal agencies.
ApplyGov delivers purpose-built, federally compliant human capital technology and services that combine more than 24 years of continuous innovation with a thorough understanding of federal hiring.

Revelio Labs, the leading independent provider of jobs data, today announced the launch of its AI Labor Market Tracker, the most comprehensive real-time measure of the impact of artificial intelligence on the employment market.
Built on Revelio Labs’ proprietary workforce and job-posting data, the AI Labor Market Tracker captures a broad set of indicators across labor supply, demand, employment and wages, job content and the hiring process to provide a recurring monthly snapshot of AI’s impact on employers and employees. The tracker, which charts changes to the job market since OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, combines original Revelio Labs analyses with updated applications, replications, and extensions of findings from emerging academic research.
“AI is already affecting the labor market in a variety of different ways, not all of which are obvious or visible in aggregate statistics,” said Revelio Labs Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ben Zweig. “There’s lots of speculation on how the labor market might change in the future but not enough data that shows what’s changing today. We’re in a unique position to help the public get a handle on a rapidly transforming market in real time.”
