HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.

Global payroll's long-standing infrastructure gaps are drawing fresh scrutiny, while ZenHR's $6 million raise signals continued investor appetite for AI-powered HR platforms in emerging markets. On the other end of the spectrum, Guardian Jobs is shutting down, marking a notable exit from the recruitment space.

Guardian Jobs is Closing.

Guardian Jobs is shutting down after 30 years of operation, according to Job Board Doctor's Julie Sowash, who traces the closure to decades of declining recruitment advertising revenue — accelerated by UK public-sector austerity cuts — rather than solely the "fundamental shift in the UK recruitment landscape" cited by the Guardian's global chief advertising officer. At the time of the announcement the platform reportedly still carried nearly 15,000 live job listings across media, education, and the charity sector.
