Quick-to-read HR news & insights
From recruiting and retention to company culture and the latest in HR tech, HR Brew delivers up-to-date industry news and tips to help HR pros stay nimble in today’s fast-changing business environment.
We all get by with a little help from our friends, and sometimes, our “friends” are tech tools. Throughout the year, HR Brew asked HR professionals about the technology that helps them do their jobs better.
Not being ones to gatekeep, here’s what they said they’re using.
“ChangeEngine—It has taken some of the guessing game out of internal comms and provided me with an easy way to make sure we are acknowledging, communicating, and celebrating the moments that matter to our employees.”—Jamy Conrad, VP of people & HR, TrustRadius
“The world would not be the same without LinkedIn Recruiter! It’s given me the power to match up with the best of retained search firms.”—Susan Jenkins Hynson, VP of talent acquisition, Imperial Dade
“We have been really impressed with the plethora of HRIS platforms that have come to the market over the last few years. The competitive landscape means more ability for customization, different price points, as well as stronger integrations.”—Cheryl Swirnow, founder and president, HR consultancy CMS Consultants
“Pave can create visual offer letters for candidates as well as visual representation for existing employee’s salary, benefits, and equity. It really helps both parties see the big picture!”—Mandy Mekhail, director of people, HR tech company ClickUp
“One HR tech product that has really made a difference is Lever. It’s streamlined our recruitment process significantly, making it easier to manage job postings, track candidates, and collaborate with the hiring team.”—Jaycee Schwarz, talent acquisition specialist, Prizeout
“Back in ‘the day’ we had to keep track of applicants with paper résumés/applications. Responses took much longer, and communication was lacking. An ATS allows you to keep candidates informed on their status and managers up to date on their open jobs.”—Shereen Solaiman, chief people officer, Myriad Genetics
“Quantum Workplace is a super helpful tool for getting a pulse on our company and for overall employee listening. We started using it for employee feedback, but now we’re using it for other stuff too including performance management.”—Matt Carrico, VP of HR and administration, DrFirst
