The HRTech Wire · auto-curated
HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
AI's role in reshaping—rather than replacing—work dominates today's HR-tech conversation, with Workday's new Global Workforce Report finding that AI is rewriting jobs more than cutting them, even as organizations debate whether the technology has truly become an HR priority. On the platform and partnership front, JobSource and The Reserves Network are combining forces to accelerate hiring, Guild has earned Workday Certified Integration status to streamline workforce data connectivity, and Cornerstone is expanding AI-readiness training through a new Google Cloud content partnership. Legal and compliance developments round out the day, as a transgender former EEOC employee wins the right to proceed with a bias lawsuit and Sirius XM successfully beats allegations of AI-fueled racial bias.
