HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.

Today's HR-tech news centers on the fight against AI-driven hiring fraud, with Checkr launching a dedicated fraud detection suite, while iCIMS highlights growing retailer pressure to accelerate candidate pipelines through AI and re-engagement tools ahead of a holiday hiring cooldown.

Broader conversation continues around AI agents in HCM and the build-vs-buy calculus in people technology, as new partnerships and leadership moves—including Mediacom's appointment of Chris Rouser as EVP of HR—round out a busy day across the industry.
