HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
HR tech investment surged today as Salesforce led a $166 million round in HiBob, valuing the Israeli HR platform at $3.2 billion, while Recruiter.com expanded its AI capabilities through an acquisition of an AI interview tool. On the product front, iCIMS unveiled its Intelligent Hiring Platform vision alongside new releases from Vervoe, signaling a broader industry push toward AI-driven talent acquisition. Amid the spending, a note of caution: workers are growing more critical of AI adoption, and Virginia's new pay-range posting requirement is drawing attention as a potential bellwether for pay transparency legislation nationwide.

Virginia's Wage Transparency Act, which took effect July 1, 2026, requires all employers — regardless of size — to include a good-faith pay range in every public and internal job posting, ban salary history inquiries, and gives applicants a private right of action; Maine's similar law followed on July 29, according to HiringThing, which notes the private right of action in Virginia is the provision most likely to be replicated in future state legislation.
