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.

Avature's founder and CEO Dimitri Boylan told the Avature Upfront US 2026 event in Scottsdale, Arizona, that HR should move to a hybrid model where people provide judgment, agents handle repeatable tasks, and systems manage data and controls. The event drew more than 250 HR leaders. Avature also previewed Avature 11, which it describes as its most powerful release, with AI-assisted and conversational configuration that it says can cut implementation time from years to months.
