One of blockchain’s chief benefits is the ability to authenticate and protect information.

Blockchain technology has the potential to provide the necessary verification and protection of such sensitive workplace data.

Key Providers for 2022: GreenLight.ai

Solution ProvidersTechnology and Innovation by Christopher J. Dwyer on

The Background:

Ardent Partners and Future of Work Exchange research has found that the utilization of digital staffing, talent marketplaces, and alternative talent channels has increased by nearly 800% over the past five years, a surefire representation of how the “omni-channel talent experience” has revolutionized the way businesses find, engage, and source their external talent.

While the overall penetration of talent acquisition via these channels has experienced a stratospheric rise, the flip side to this level of innovation is that businesses still require robust onboarding, payroll, and compliance automation to ensure that the extended workforce delivers on its true value without the threat of labor risks.

Enter GreenLight.ai.

Why They Were Selected:

Payrolling, compliance and risk mitigation, and onboarding technology is not a new concept within the world of contingent workforce management. However, as businesses began to scale their extended talent programs in the wake of a pandemic, disruption via market events, and other activity that has been transforming the modern enterprise over the past few years, there has been an enhanced need for innovative platforms that technologically “align” with the digital staffing, direct sourcing, and talent marketplace solutions for maximum compliance and visibility.

GreenLight.ai has revolutionized the ways that VMS, direct sourcing, ATS, and digital staffing platforms deliver a real omni-channel experience while also providing a central “system of truth” that can be relied upon as the utilization of freelance talent continues to grow in the wake of a looming economic recession and continued ramifications from both the COVID-19 pandemic and unrest across the globe.

In Their Own Words:

GreenLight.ai is the first contractor payroll and compliance provider designed for the Future of Work, used by some of the world’s leading enterprises and most disruptive talent technologies to easily onboard and pay their extended workforce. With an API-first strategy, GreenLight seamlessly integrates with VMS, ATS, and Direct Sourcing programs, while providing embedded connections for benefits, insurance, and background checks.

GreenLight focuses on a positive user experience, speed, visibility, and ease of integration that provides protection and indemnification options while removing the complexity of determining worker classification. Designed in conjunction with leading labor lawyers and tax experts, GreenLight’s platform has been dubbed ‘the world’s most intelligent classification engine’ and has compliance in its DNA. GreenLight also serves as the Employer or Agent of Record in over 120 countries, with intuitive and AI-driven processes that have workers onboarded in minutes.

Uniquely, GreenLight’s platform highlights the importance of focusing on the needs of the contractors, providing tools and benefits that enable them to thrive as independent workers – while ensuring our clients attract and retain the best freelance talent. It’s why the best digital staffing platforms private label our technology, and the reason GreenLight is the partner of choice for socially-conscious, forward-thinking contingent workforce programs.

The Outlook:

The adoption of digital staffing platforms and related solutions (particularly direct sourcing and talent marketplaces) has created a vacuum in which business leaders must delicately balance the need for top-tier talent with the necessary rigor to maintain compliance and mitigate misclassification risks. GreenLight.ai has been, for years, known as the one of the most powerful and intuitive solutions for offering just that…with an added “Future of Work touch” that separates its technology from the rest of the pack.

GreenLight.ai’s innovative range of offerings has proven to transform the way both businesses themselves and their core omni-channel talent platforms optimize the hiring, usage, and candidate experience of freelance talent. As Future of Work-era accelerants continue to shift the dynamics in the world of extended workforce management, GreenLight.ai will continue its long track record of providing Best-in-Class automation, integration, speed, visibility, and end-to-end protection against misclassification risks.
