Get into the huddle for this episode of Spilling the Tea on HR Tech with host and Sapient Insights Group Chief Research Officer & Managing Partner Stacey Harris, along with co-host and Director of Research Cliff Stevenson, as they dive into more exciting HR tech news from around the world - including the acquisition and new funding of UK and Norway companies. They also explore inaccuracies of popular AI programs and tools.

Here are a few episode highlights:

↪️ Game-based learning platform out of Oslo, Kahoot!, has been acquired by an investor consortium, including Goldman Sachs and General Atlantic, for 1.72 billion.  Follow their discussion on how this generational learning tool is surprisingly a bigger deal than people may think.

↪️ Prolific, a UK-based ethical research and AI training firm, has raised $25 million in Series A funding. 

↪️ Concerns rise about the accuracy of AI programs like Chat-GPT, prompting the need for a thoughtful response.

↪️ Research by Crosschq Data Labs reveals a surge in job applicants misrepresenting themselves during reference checks. Cliff poses the question  - should this be considered fraud?

↪️ Remote work intensifies the importance of policies and guidelines for employee management and HR outsourcing models.


Did you know? Our Chief Research Officer & Managing Partner, Stacey Harris, authored a book: “Introduction to HR Technologies: Understand How to Use Technology to Improve Your Performance and Processes.”

This book covers all the core areas of HR, including recruitment, performance management, learning and development (L&D), and reward, allowing practitioners to identify areas where technologies can be used to drive performance and what to look for when assessing technological solutions.
