HCM (Human Capital Management)
An umbrella term for the full HR tech stack, including ATS, HRIS, payroll, and talent management.
HCM is the broadest term in HR tech — it encompasses everything from recruiting to payroll. Vendors like Workday, Oracle, and SAP SuccessFactors brand themselves as HCM platforms.
The trend in 2026 is toward unified platforms that collapse ATS + HRIS + performance + comp into one product, rather than buying each module separately. Mid-market companies that consolidated to a single HCM in 2024–25 report 30–45% lower total cost of ownership and meaningfully faster reporting cycles.
Keep going. Cross-pollinate.
The average mid-market company runs 11 HR tools. Most can collapse to 3 — here's the pattern, the savings, and the migration path.
System of record for employee data — directory, time off, payroll-ready data, performance.
We're hiring a Recruiter (Talent Partner) to run full-cycle hiring across multiple roles. You'll work in a small, senior team that ships, owns its outcomes, and treats teammates and candidates with respect.
Twenty structured interview questions for Recruiter (Talent Partner) roles, mixing behavioural, technical, situational, and values. Score 1–5 per question, calibrate independently before debate.
Engineering hiring is structured-interview-heavy and signal-poor. Screeq's rubric-first interview workflow and AI scoring fit how tech actually hires.
Oracle HCM Cloud is technically capable and culturally allergic to modern UX. Powerful for Oracle DBAs, painful for HR.
