HR tech can be very useful for organisations building out their teams, especially with hybrid and remote working. And there’s lots of tools to choose from.
It is probably impossible to avoid technology in the world of work nowadays, and that’s not going to change any time soon.
As remote and hybrid working practices look set to continue, our need for tech tools is bound to increase. We’ll need tools to connect with our co-workers, tools to automate some of our daily tasks and tools to help us manage time, money and more.
As work and technology become more connected, it makes sense that elements of recruiting and hiring are done digitally, too. HR departments can and do rely on multiple tech tools to help them find talent, no matter the industry. Whether a company is hiring a software developer or a shop assistant, chances are they will use technology in at least one stage of the hiring process.
There are multiple tools specifically for HR staff when it comes to sourcing, recruiting, interviewing, onboarding and managing staff.
Here is a round-up of 13 HR tech platforms that may have a role to play in the future of work.
