Celebrating Recognition and Reflecting on Progress: What the Judges Said About Our Tiara Talent Tech Star Awards Wins

Reading time: 7 minutes

After the excitement of taking home two Tiara Talent Tech Star Awards this year, we’ve had a moment to catch our breath and reflect. Winning both The Contractor Solution of the Year and The Compliance Solution of the Year was a proud moment for everyone at Nétive VMS. But what’s been just as valuable is receiving the detailed feedback from the judging panel; insight that not only reinforces what we’re doing well, but also highlights where we can push for even greater impact.

Why we won and what it means to us

These awards aren’t just a recognition of our technology, they’re a reflection of the people behind it, and the customers and partners we support every day. To be acknowledged for our commitment to innovation, compliance and user experience in such a competitive field is something we’re incredibly proud of.

At the same time, we remain focused on learning and improving. Where the judges have offered suggestions – whether it’s sharpening our differentiation or expanding social proof – we’re already exploring ways to act on that.

Here’s a closer look at what the judges had to say about each of our award-winning entries:

Contractor Solution of the Year

A well-structured and confident entry with a strong focus on user experience, supplier engagement, and platform scalability.

— Judging panel feedback

This category is all about solutions that deliver real value to contractors and the feedback we received shows we’re making a strong impact.

The judges highlighted:

Our focus on user experience for all stakeholders: contractors, suppliers, and clients.
Clear metrics on client retention and referrals, supporting our long-term value.
A confident and well-supported entry, backed by case studies and testimonial videos.
A clearly defined purpose that translates across our platform’s design and delivery.

They also encouraged us to continue evolving, suggesting that sharper differentiation and broader social validation could elevate us even further. Challenge accepted.

Compliance Solution of the Year

One of the strongest and most comprehensive submissions in this category.

— Judging panel feedback

This feedback truly reflects the dedication our team puts into making compliance not just a feature, but a foundation.

The judges commended:

Our mature and holistic approach, built for high-risk sectors like government, healthcare and finance.
Embedding “compliance-by-design” at every level, with tools like document validation, right-to-work checks, GDPR compliance and public sector e-invoicing.
Our mission-led mindset, with a clear purpose beyond profit.
Strategic alignment between our vision, platform capabilities and future developments.

Hearing our compliance innovation described as both impressive and deeply strategic is a huge credit to the team working tirelessly behind the scenes to make it so.

See the videos behind the awards

As part of our submissions, we created two short videos to bring our platform and its benefits to life. They played a key role in telling our story and now we’re pleased to share them with you too.

Whether you’re a client, partner, contractor – or simply curious about how tech is transforming workforce management – we hope these videos give a clearer picture of the people-first approach driving our innovation.

Onwards, with gratitude

We’re incredibly grateful for the recognition, but even more excited about what’s next. Awards like this fuel our momentum and remind us why we do what we do.

To our clients, users, and everyone who’s part of the Nétive journey – thank you.
