Tekion scores B on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 11 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 0% look like ghost listings, 100% have gone stale and 0% are the same role posted again. Its roles close in a median of 36 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Overview

Tekion is an American automotive software company founded in 2016 by a former Tesla chief information officer to replace the ageing dealer management systems car retailers run on. Its Automotive Retail Cloud handles the whole dealership in one system, covering sales, financing and insurance, parts, service scheduling and accounting, and it connects manufacturers, dealers and customers on shared data rather than through nightly file transfers. Headquartered in Pleasanton and privately held at a multi-billion dollar valuation, it competes with the long-established dealer software incumbents CDK and Reynolds and Reynolds.
