The HRTech Wire · auto-curated
HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.

On the technology front, ADP Lyric HCM expands into key European markets, Signature HealthCARE reports a 52% increase in nursing applicants after consolidating a seven-vendor hiring stack with iCIMS, and Gyde acquires Capstone Benefits Consulting to deepen its AI-native employee benefits platform. Broader research from Criteria Corp and Alight underscores the industry's defining tensions: AI and skill gaps are reshaping hiring while financial stress and healthcare complexity continue to weigh on employee wellbeing.
