“This is something that our clients have asked for, there is no other motivation than to fill that need,” said Criterion Chief Sales Officer Steven Kuhn. “But we did not just pick any WOTC platform, we were already aware of Walton’s superior work in the field and forged a relationship that will bear fruit for our clients for many years to come.”

“With the recent five-year extension of WOTC, it is a great time to welcome Criterion to Walton’s partner ecosystem.  Their abilities and concentration on the mid-market will help many companies maximize WOTC and other credits with ease, adding additional value to their book of business,” said Walton’s Director of Marketing and Partnership Support, David Garcia. “We are proud to have Criterion as one of our Human Capital Management partners.”

Walton’s Point-of-Hire Tax Credit Assessment is directly accessible within Criterion, so there are no new interfaces to learn.
