Kanjoya Earns Distinction as 2016 Gartner Cool Vendor in Human Capital Management

SAN FRANCISCO--()--Kanjoya, Inc., the leading workforce intelligence and management platform for enterprises, announced today that it has been distinguished as one of four “Cool Vendors in Human Capital Management, 2016” by Gartner.

Gartner, the world's leading information technology research and advisory company, delivers technology-related insights to help companies choose the right providers for their organizations. Each year, Gartner designates the ‘Cool Vendor' distinction to emerging startups and companies that are breaking new ground in their industry with unique and intriguing technology.

“This is an exciting honor for us, especially after launching our platform less than a year ago,” said Armen Berjikly, CEO of Kanjoya. “It’s wonderful validation to have the perspective of an expert research firm like Gartner, who is uniquely able to evaluate our solution against others, and be chosen for this distinction.”

Kanjoya's platform, PerceptionTM, spans employee surveys, performance reviews, and people analytics solutions. The platform has been used to capture and analyze employee feedback in diverse industries – from technology and financial services to healthcare and retail – worldwide.

Perception helps companies make better decisions by transforming the way businesses collect and understand employee feedback. Its consumer-friendly user interface, built for mobile-first, offers a respite from the traditional long, mind-numbing list of ratings and rankings questions and replaces overloaded lists, charts, and graphs.

The real-time solution eliminates the traditional long wait for survey results and interpretation. Perception’s unique capabilities to understand both quantitative data and unstructured qualitative data – such as open-ended survey responses and text-based performance reviews – provide a critical source of context and strategic guidance in seconds. This capability derives from Kanjoya’s proprietary natural language processing and machine learning algorithms, which identify the HR themes discussed and emotions expressed in text. As a result, businesses can ask conversational questions like “What’s on your mind?” or “What advice would you give management?” and get immediate, actionable insights.

The news follows another major announcement from Kanjoya, in which the company reported 200% growth after closing $1 million in deals in one day.
