The HR Tech Spotlight
On The HR Tech Spotlight podcast, your host, Deanna Shimota, interviews business leaders in the HR tech market to share each company’s story behind why the technology was created, what top challenges it solves for HR and finance leaders and how it is truly different from the other options out there. Our goal is to introduce innovative up-and-coming technology companies to our listener audience because we know that these solutions don’t always make it on a buyer’s radar – even though these lesser-known HR technology solutions might be a better fit for a buyer’s needs at times.
