Monday, October 19, 2026

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

Agentic AI dominated today's HR-tech news, with Cornerstone unveiling Workforce Planning and Agent Ready capabilities, UKG introducing AI aimed at frontline workers, PlanSource launching an autonomous Benefits Agent, and SandboxAQ expanding its Switch AI platform to give enterprises greater governance over AI-driven workforces. On the investment and market-entry front, hiring startup Hunar.AI secured Rs 40 crore from Blume Ventures and others to scale agentic AI for frontline recruitment, SourceNow launched a Workforce Supplier Marketplace connecting staffing companies with enterprise buyers, and The Workplace Consult opened an HR technology practice in Nigeria in partnership with SeamlessHR and Zoho People. Rounding out the day, a TestGorilla survey found that AI is helping recruiters work faster but has not increased their confidence in identifying the right candidates, while TalentNeuron and BCG announced a partnership to help companies redesign their workforces for an AI-driven era.
