HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
Enterprise recruiting platform iCIMS has earned a top-five user experience ranking for the third consecutive year in Sapient Insights Group's HR Systems Survey, while new research reveals that 92% of HR professionals believe employees can be reskilled for AI roles yet external hiring continues to outpace internal redeployment. Google is extending voluntary buyout offers across multiple countries and Microsoft faces scrutiny over how its own buyouts may affect AI ambitions, as job reductions also hit Virgin Media O2 under a cost-saving drive. On the workforce data front, ADP's National Employment Report shows private-sector employment rose by 86,000 jobs in October, and Lockheed Martin has agreed to pay $29.5 million to resolve alleged employment discrimination violations.

WorkTech's sponsored Market Window, produced with Humareso, argues that leave management should be built into payroll and HRIS rather than bolted on. It cites WTW's 2025 survey finding that 72% of employers now outsource federal and state FMLA administration, up from 64% in 2023, and EEOC data showing 33,668 disability charges in FY2024, an all-time high. The report is gated behind an email sign-up and includes a video conversation with Humareso CEO John Baldino.
