13 tech tools for the future of HR

HR tech is very useful for organisations building out their teams, especially with hybrid and remote working. There’s lots of tools to choose from.

It is probably impossible to avoid technology in the world of work nowadays, and it’s not going to change any time soon.

As hybrid working practices continue to grow in popularity, 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 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 and onboarding talent.
