HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
AI's expanding role in hiring is generating both innovation and controversy: ZoomInfo and Corridor have launched new AI-driven recruiting and benefits tools, while a Workday bias case seeks class status and Reuters examines who bears liability when AI hiring platforms discriminate.
