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

Agentic AI is reshaping HR infrastructure on multiple fronts, with ESI PEO advancing an end-to-end AI operating system for payroll, benefits, and compliance, while industry voices from Hindustan Times to KTVU examine what the broader "agentic shift" means for workforce management. Hiring bias and AI regulation are drawing mounting scrutiny, as a UK nonprofit launches its "Reject the Rejections" campaign against automated hiring decisions, calls escalate for industry-wide AI standards, and Accenture settles DE&I hiring bias claims for $25M. Elsewhere, ESS expands K-12 workforce solutions through its acquisition of HeyTutor, Basic Capital partners with Check to bring embedded 401(k) capabilities to workforce SaaS platforms, and Washington employers brace for new I-9 inspection notice rules taking effect October 1.

Basic Capital Partners with Check to Bring Embedded 401(k) to Workforce SaaS Platforms
