We asked 12 HR & Business Leaders which HR Tech platforms are making the biggest impact on their business in 2023. The results we got back were very intriguing and shed some light on the variety of different ways HR Tech can impact business operations ranging from hiring, to performance reviews to employee engagement.
My favorite HR Tech tool in 2023 is data visualization software. It has provided me and my company with immense benefits, like the ability to interpret complex data quickly and accurately; we can now identify patterns in employee performance more easily than before.
The impact on our business has been substantial as it has helped us better our operations by providing visibility into areas that may need improvement, such as evaluation criteria and recruitment efforts.

My favorite HR Tech tool has undoubtedly been NectarHR. It has transformed how we approach employee recognition and rewards. The ease of use and flexibility it offers has enabled us to create a more engaged and motivated workforce.
NectarHR's social recognition feed has fostered a culture of appreciation and positivity, as it allows colleagues to publicly acknowledge each other's efforts. Its custom rewards catalog has also been a hit, as it personalizes the recognition experience.
Furthermore, it's helped streamline our administrative tasks, saving us valuable time and allowing us to focus more on strategic initiatives. This tool has certainly elevated our HR practices, and I believe it's played a significant role in improving our company's overall morale and productivity.

Check out RecruiterBox—it has been my favorite HR Tech tool for 2023. It completely streamlined our recruitment process with a comprehensive applicant tracking system.
The best part about this HR Tech tool is that it makes it incredibly easy to organize applicant data in a custom way—which makes finding the ideal candidate much simpler. For example, Job Lists allow us to view jobs by criteria such as location or category, and filters narrow down candidates quickly with keywords. This has saved us a ton of time and helped us to focus on what really matters—finding the best talent for our team.
On top of this, the integration allowed us to connect our onboarding procedure directly via API link with other apps like Slack or Zoom for virtual interviews—which was a big plus. It's been a game-changer for scaling our recruitment efforts.
So, if you're looking for a recruitment tool that will take your HR process to the next level, I highly recommend giving RecruiterBox a try.

Like a lot of companies, our biggest HR obstacle in the last 24 months has been employee engagement. We’ve been killing ourselves at the management level, trying everything to get our employees more engaged.
However, the one thing that seems to work the best is peer-to-peer recognition. We’ve been using a tool called Bonusly to operationalize our peer recognition system, and it’s been great so far. And the best part is that it was pretty simple to implement and manage.
Basically, every employee gets a social credit allowance of sorts, which they can use to recognize and award their peers. These awards flow through to a public feed, where the recognition can be seen and amplified. It’s a small tool, but seems to have been impactful in terms of getting us what we want—happier and more engaged team members.

Namely has a great performance management system, which helps us set and track employee goals, provide feedback, and conduct performance evaluations.
Running a good performance management system helps us improve communication between employees and managers, clarify expectations and goals, and ensure that employees are receiving regular feedback and support for their development.

Leveraging HR automation tools has made workplace tasks significantly easier. There are tools like WorkBright that can drastically cut down on the time-to-hire for businesses. This solution automates hiring workflows—like the recruiting process, background checks, and onboarding tasks—so new employees can start working faster.

For all-in-one tech systems, we've been trialing PeopleHR.
As far as the broader HR employee management suites of software go, this one is excellent as it allows for the streamlining of multi-tool processes, and enables us to perform the tasks that we need to do all within one handy platform.
Tracey Beveridge, HR Director, Personnel Checks
From our experience, Zynq is by far the best HR Tech tool in 2023. It’s great because it leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide predictive insights on employee engagement and retention, talent acquisition, and workforce productivity.
Zynq's real-time analytics and personalized recommendations help us optimize our HR strategies and improve overall performance. Since we’re a small remote team, we benefit from its intuitive user interface and seamless integration that enable hassle-free implementation and adoption.
Zynq empowers us to make data-driven decisions, streamline processes, and enhance employee experience, thereby improving business outcomes.
Harry Morton, Founder, Lower Street
In the wake of the pandemic, we needed a platform to manage our distributed team's time, talent, and performance. As time went on, we noticed this new paradigm was encroaching on our culture, which steadily dwindled employee engagement, including recognition, which was an important part of our office culture.
A colleague suggested Bob, which has turned out to be our favorite HR Tech tool for its shoutouts and kudos tools. It's been great for cutting down on paperwork and one-click workflows, too—well, maybe not so great for giving out hugs, but certainly great for showing appreciation just in time for that anniversary, birthday, or milestone.

For us, it has been the mass adoption and bespoke development of the employee service portal.
Being able to track employee data such as training progress and personal development down to a granular level has been invaluable in informing how we can better our onboarding processes, and the training processes for existing employees, too.
Wendy Makinson, HR Manager, Joloda Hydraroll
Enboarder is one of the best tools we have implemented this year.
With many team members working from home or hybrid, it's tough to ensure everyone has access to learning modules and opportunities. This software makes it easier for everyone to access learning modules, no matter where they are working from.
You can easily track who has completed what, and it gives you a good idea of where you might need to focus on in terms of training if many team members are struggling in a specific area.

Unlike typical HR conferences where vendors primarily focus on generating new business, the HR Tech Conference sees vendors equally interested in meeting each other. This creates an environment where integrations between different HR systems are a key focus.
A significant theme was the pursuit of integrated suites by HR tech vendors. Many companies are seeking partnerships to expand their integrated partner networks, aiming to provide clients with seamless experiences across various HR functions.
Verified First, traditionally a background screening company, innovated by developing a front-end browser plugin that simplifies integration with leading Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). This approach streamlines the integration process and enhances user experience.
Companies in the employee engagement space often struggle to integrate their platforms seamlessly into existing workflows and generate meaningful data that resonates with executives. Additionally, they face the challenge of ensuring consistent user engagement.
While many vendors claimed to offer AI-powered solutions, skepticism arose regarding the authenticity of these claims. Building true artificial intelligence requires significant expertise and resources, and only a few vendors demonstrated evidence of genuine AI capabilities.
