Structured hiring platform (ATS) for mid-market and enterprise, valued $2.7B private. Positioned as the alternative to Lever and Ashby for teams that want interview scorecards and hiring-team collaboration built in. Distinctive for its structured hiring methodology (Talent Wall, kickoff meetings). Pricing is opaque — quote-only, typically $6K-$50K+/year based on employee count. Popular with tech companies scaling from Series B upward.
The Workforce Operating Platform formed from the 2020 merger of Kronos and Ultimate Software ($22B combined). Positioned as the workforce-management-first alternative to Workday for shift-heavy industries (retail, healthcare, manufacturing) where time tracking + labor forecasting matter as much as HRIS. Distinctive for combining Kronos's deep time-and-labor engine with Ultimate's people-first HRIS. Priced quote-based (~$8-$15/employee/mo reference) across UKG Ready (SMB-mid), UKG Pro (mid-large), and UKG Pro Enterprise. Private-equity owned by Hellman & Friedman + Blackstone. Serves 80K+ organizations globally.
