The HRTech Wire · auto-curated
HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
AI is reshaping recruitment from both ends of the process, with new platforms automating candidate interviews and shortlisting while the rise of agent-to-agent interactions introduces fresh trust challenges around ghost jobs and fake applicants. On the regulatory front, California signed a wave of bills strengthening AI protections for workers, and the newly Senate-confirmed U.S. Secretary of Labor steps into a role where AI's impact on hiring — including dismissed racial bias claims and concerns that AI may disadvantage women in communication — remains sharply contested. Benefits, compliance, and workforce analytics are also in motion, as Alight acquires Abett, Gusto expands into multi-state hiring and PEO services, and a new analysis pegs the annual cost of return-to-office mandates at roughly $6,700 per employee.
