Quality. When it comes to Talent Acquisition, achieving a consistent Quality of Hire is like the quest for the Holy Grail.

As Cloud Computing has been accelerating toward the eclipse of OnPremise software in overall market share, Application development has been described more and more as becoming almost an art form or [...]

One of the most interesting trends to unveil itself through this year’s #hrwins process has been the number of HR Technology companies that are now getting real traction for their solutions at companies with under 5,000 employees – or what is traditionally called the Small and Medium Business segment (SMB).
