eightfold.ai Article: Why Only 1 in 5 HR Leaders Has a Say in Their Company’s AI Strategy

HR’s role is shifting from improving talent acquisition and management processes,  to helping lead organizational transformation. AI is reshaping HR’s function, but limited budgets make agility and strategic alignment essential for successful adoption of new technologies and practices. To succeed, HR leaders must assess their organization’s readiness for change, surface hidden workforce capabilities, and guide adoption with confidence. If you’ve been in HR for a while, you probably remember the days when your entire system lived in a spreadsheet — and if you don’t, consider yourself lucky. Today, HR technology has advanced significantly, but with that progress comes complexity. The average organization now manages 15 to 20 different HR tools and tech systems. With so many tools and limited budgets, you’re likely facing a critical […]

theHRDIRECTOR: Lessons from HR Tech 2025 – How vendors can stand out in a crowded market

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend HR Tech 2025 . After years of observing this industry as a customer and analyst, I came away both amazed and thoughtful about the state of HR technology and the way vendors communicate their innovations. The State of HR Technology Today The advancements in HR software over the past few years are nothing short of revolutionary. From AI-driven solutions to streamlined workforce management tools, the software on display at HR Tech 2025 has the potential to accelerate organizations’ capabilities by years—if deployed effectively. For end users, the key takeaway is clear: if you haven’t explored HR technology in the last few years, now is the time. The innovations showcased at this year’s event could fundamentally improve how HR […]

theHRDIRECTOR: Is HR Tech in its “It’s Toasted” Era?

One thing’s for sure in HR tech: everything is agentic AI. Or better yet, just “agentic.” In the frigid back conference halls of the Mandalay Bay convention center, past the food court, and up the escalator banks, the word “agentic” bounced across the walls and danced through the air. It’s the hot new thing. Everyone’s talking about it. And maybe that’s the problem. Over the course of the two and a half days at the 3Sixty Insights table, I was briefed, debriefed, and briefed again with vendors from across the HR tech industry. I met and spoke with many witty, intelligent, and forward-thinking people, all telling – or being told to tell – the same story. As an analyst, the result was often walking away […]

theHRDIRECTOR: Key takeaways from this year’s HR technology conference

My heart is full and my battery is drained, but in the most beautiful way. Prior to HR Technology Conference, my experience with conferences was from the practioner’s and blogger perspective. I had the opportunity to attend HR Tech as a learner and an analyst in an industry where I’ve been a customer, a decision maker, and a functionality geek. I got to see some amazing people I had not seen in years or even had never met IRL. I’ve always loved learning, attending demos, and seeing how people are looking to solve their business challenges with people tech solutions. It was fun to have the experience of being in HR for 20+ years and now having a different conversation with vendors, finding out from […]

Video: What HR Tech Vendors Are Missing – Lessons from HR Tech 2025

3Sixty Insights Nicholas Biron in this video shares his key takeaways from HR Tech 2025, offering a deep dive into the state of HR technology and the evolving landscape for both end users and vendors. Over the course of the event, it became clear that HR tech vendors are making revolutionary investments where solutions today are light years ahead of where they were just five years ago. For practitioners who haven’t evaluated new software recently, these innovations can be transformative, enabling organizations to solve complex workforce challenges, improve efficiency, and drive meaningful business outcomes. At the same time, Nick highlights a critical challenge: while the innovations are groundbreaking, much of the messaging coming from vendors is strikingly similar. Buzzwords like “agentic AI” and “human-in-the-loop” dominate […]
