The HR industry is still using paper processes so there is still an opportunity to convert from manual processes to efficient software based processes. Also, many organizations have been slow to embrace technology use to its full potential.
A recruiting platform should do more than source many candidates to fill an open positions; it should provide tools to identify those that represent a good cultural fit and have the right experience and qualifications as well.
Compliance is much easier for HR to keep up with due to technology. This lifts a huge burden off HR and legal teams. There have been new state-specific time and labor laws, state-level privacy regulations, and even local laws for employee leave. Modern HR systems can be a lifesaver to aid organizations in their compliance efforts.
But by far, technology is empowering better, faster, and less biased HR decisions. HR can mine its vast data stores with new tools for forward-looking, predictive trends, and historical analysis capabilities for actionable insights that can drive business performance.
