HR technology, every morning — wired to the companies and people behind it.
AI is reshaping both sides of the hiring equation, with job applicants turning to it to research employers, Avature convening its US conference around people-and-AI-agent collaboration, and a growing debate over who sets the rules when machine applicants enter the pipeline. Tech layoffs surpassing 200,000 jobs this year underscore the workforce disruption accompanying the AI investment surge, while ZipRecruiter's revenue growth and Mount Thor's $45M Series A signal continued investor appetite in HR tech. On the compliance front, Delta Air Lines, Wabash National, and Osmose Utilities each settled EEOC discrimination suits, keeping workplace accountability squarely in focus alongside the industry's technology transformation.

A HiBob survey found that more than half of HR managers who use AI to review workforce decisions reconsidered overlooked workers for promotion, and 73% used the tool's output to challenge a manager's decision, including ones possibly shaped by bias. Forty-three percent said AI review led to a more favorable pay-raise outcome for the employee, and 40% said the same for promotions. The findings are based on HiBob's own survey results.
