2025 Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards: Seven Global Wins, One AI-Powered Vision for Talent Acquisition
We’ve always said that our success is a direct result of our customers’ success. This year, that belief has been proven in a big way. We are incredibly proud to announce that seven of our enterprise customers have been honored with top awards at the prestigious 2025 Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards for Talent Acquisition.
These wins are more than just trophies on a shelf; they are a powerful testament to a shared philosophy: that modern hiring must be human-first, data-driven, and radically efficient. Each of these companies — Axis Securities, Axis Finance, eClerx, LTIMindtree, Myridius, Tredence and UST — has used technology to go beyond simply filling roles. They’ve rebuilt their recruitment engines from the ground up, proving that AI can be a force for both innovation and a superior candidate experience.
Redefining Excellence in Hiring
What ties these success stories together is a commitment to meaningful transformation. Our customers didn’t settle for minor improvements. They tackled systemic challenges, from fragmented processes and global scaling issues to candidate engagement, referral programs and compliance challenges.
Axis Securities: A Full-Stack Redesign of Hiring
Award: Best Talent Acquisition Process
Axis Securities took a system-level approach to transforming their hiring — addressing everything from documentation and tracking to recruiter transparency and vendor alignment. With their digital TA foundation in place, the result was faster hiring, better governance, and a seamless process from requisition to onboarding.
Axis Finance: Turning Candidate Experience into a Competitive Advantage
Award: Best Candidate Experience
Axis Finance didn’t just automate hiring — they made it more personal. Through rapid process simplification, interview feedback turnaround went from 5 days to 10 minutes, and offer rollouts dropped from 4 days to just 1.
The result: a 4.86/5 candidate experience score and a hiring process that reflects the company’s commitment to responsiveness and respect.
eClerx: Turning Referrals into a Strategic Talent Engine
Award: Best Unique or Innovative TA Program
eClerx understood that its greatest talent sources was already within its organization. By redesigning its referral process with a “Referral Hub,” they transformed a traditional program into a high-performance hiring engine. This cultural shift led to a 35% increase in referral hires, showcasing the power of empowering employee networks to drive talent acquisition.
LTIMindtree: At the Intersection of Scale, AI, and Compliance
Award: Best Talent Acquisition Process
For LTIMindtree, talent acquisition had to be more than operational — it had to be strategic.

Myridius: Reimagining Global Candidate Experience
Award: Best Candidate Experience
Myridius knew candidate experience couldn’t be an afterthought. Through a unified digital platform, they eliminated manual steps, personalized communication, and brought visibility to every stage of the process.

Tredence: AI-Powered Transformation for Global Scale
Award: Best Talent Acquisition Process
As a high-growth global enterprise, Tredence faced the strategic challenge of scaling recruitment to match its rapid expansion. They initiated a comprehensive transformation to build a fully automated, AI-first TA engine, resulting in a new benchmark for candidate experience with a 4.9/5 satisfaction score. This new system enabled recruiters to move faster and align with strategic business goals, demonstrating that technology can drive both efficiency and quality at scale.
UST: A Scalable Model for Enterprise Hiring
Award: Best Talent Acquisition Process
UST built a global hiring system that works — across geographies, teams, and vendor ecosystems. From planning to onboarding, every stage was aligned through a digital backbone that delivered real-time dashboards, seamless collaboration, and faster time-to-offer. These companies are a blueprint for how large enterprises can solve complex hiring problems, proving that strategic partnerships and a clear vision can lead to game-changing results.
