TKT & Associates, Inc.

TKT & Associates, Inc. Is a Louisville, Kentucky firm that gives employers one partner for staffing, workforce managed services and procurement consulting. Buyers get a team that can fill a permanent role, run a contingent workforce program, or take over supplier diversity reporting, and that has been doing this work since 2006. For companies weighing a BPO company USA option against offshore outsourcing, TKT is a domestic provider with public-sector and manufacturing experience. The staffing practice covers direct and permanent placement, contingency and temporary hires, and full recruitment process outsourcing (RPO). It is delivered through Astute Sourcing, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary that opened in 2012 as TKT-nectir Global Staffing with three clients and forty open positions and now places candidates with manufacturers nationwide. Labor categories span professional, engineering, light industrial, administrative and construction roles. On the managed services side, TKT acts as a workforce MSP for time-and-material and statement-of-work spend, and takes on business process outsourcing and spend management assignments. Consulting engagements address spend management, human resources, workforce management, diversity equity and inclusion, and creative and innovation strategy. TKT serves both public and private-sector clients. Its early reputation came from managing the federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program for the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project, one of the largest transportation construction projects in the country. Corporate relationships followed. The company's site carries a testimonial from Toyota Motors crediting TKT with support through a period of significant change. Manufacturing, automotive, construction and government buyers are the kinds of clients it describes. What sets TKT apart is its roots in procurement compliance. Founder Tierra Kavanaugh Wayne previously served as Executive Director of Kentucky's Office for Minority Empowerment, and the firm built an automated system to manage supplier diversity contracting and commodity procurement programs. That tracking and reporting discipline carries into its back office outsourcing work. In 2013 the company formed TKTKONNECT with a group of industry leaders to focus on workforce management, talent development, systems and business process optimization. This is not a call center USA buyers would shortlist for customer support. It is a workforce and procurement specialist, and its focus on automated monitoring makes it a practical fit for an AI-ready BPO program where clean data matters.
