The HRTech Wire · auto-curated

Wednesday, October 21, 2026

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

Frontline workforce technology dominated today's headlines, with Firstwork closing a $15M Series A to tackle frontline hiring using applied AI and Yourco introducing AI Frontline Agents deployable instantly via SMS. On the platform and partnership front, Go1 spun out its AI workforce enablement offering as a standalone brand called Morgan, while Kahuna Workforce Solutions joined the Infor Marketplace to bring frontline skills intelligence to Infor HCM customers. Rounding out the day, HR Path expanded its Australian footprint through the acquisition of Payroll Experts Australia, and Emapta launched a Talent Heatmap spotlighting the world's most in-demand roles.
