HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
Agentic AI dominated today's HR-tech headlines, with Accenture launching a Workday engineering programme for the technology, Metaview expanding its Workday integration to bring agentic recruiting to Fortune 500 employers, and TalentNeuron adding agentic capabilities to its Synapse platform for boardroom-ready workforce analysis. Fresh funding continued to flow into the space, with Scuba closing $34M in total funding and Duvo securing $32M in a Series A, while Humanly's acquisition of CareerArc signals growing appetite for combining recruitment marketing with AI-driven hiring. On the candidate experience front, new research highlighted a stark disconnect, finding job seekers are eight times more likely than talent leaders to rate an interview process poorly.
