HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
AI investment and consolidation are reshaping the HR-tech landscape today, as Magentic raises $18M to build AI workforces for physical-world environments, Harver acquires Symphony Talent to form a global talent intelligence platform, and Crosschq rebrands as Brilliant AI to launch a new "hiring intelligence" category. Workday earned a Leader designation in the inaugural 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Workforce Management Technology, while China's AI hiring surge and mounting VC interest in candidate-first tech signal broadening global demand. Regulatory and ethical questions are also mounting, with California business groups pushing back on the state's AI hiring proposal and debate intensifying over whether safety evaluators embedded by Anthropic and OpenAI can operate independently.
