Hence, human resource technology solutions, including workforce management, talent management, recruitment, and payroll management are expected to fuel the demand post COVID-19.


Shifting to remote work culture and virtual collaboration is one of the most substantial developments that organizations have implemented to tackle the complexities of public health and economic disaster. The software helped professionals to manage employee-management communication and handle payroll functions efficiently. During pandemic, the prominent market players focused on partnerships, collaborations, and research & development to assist organizations for managing workforce. For instance,

Robot Process Automation technology plays a vital role in delivering efficiency and innovation within the human resource management solutions and enables organizations to deliver enhanced talent strategies. Companies are looking for new ways to hire talent and deliver new services at lower costs. RPA capabilities embedded with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning enable enterprises to standardize operations by eliminating additional IT costs. Market players offer advanced tools integrated with RPA to address the requirement of end-users.


For example, Oracle Corporation offers Oracle Digital Assistant, an human resource chatbot that enables employees to get immediate answers to their queries and seamlessly complete transactions through text or voice. Oracle Digital Assistant supports more than 90 prebuilt transactions and also offers support to solutions with new requirements or processes.


Attributed to the positive results of RPA integrated with human resource tools, market players are likely to integrate RPA with HR tools, including recruitment software and application tracking system across human resource departments.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increased Adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Drive the Market


The adoption of AI and ML algorithms across the human resource (HR) technology software enables to optimize the recruitment process. Integration of artificial intelligence applications such as bots and virtual assistants helps to automate recruitment processes such as interview scheduling, interview performance analyzing, and answering basic questions. The bot utilizes the logic to recognize user requests and communicate with business systems to get the desired results. For instance,



  • In March 2022, HeyJobs, a HR technology startup, raised USD 47 million funding. The company aims to leverage the funding to accelerate the integration of AI technology in talent acquisition solutions as well as expand its business across Germany.

In 2021, 39% of respondents stated that they used AI for job recommendations on career sites and 34% of the recruiters used the AI technology for job description recommendations.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Limitations of Data Integration and Threat to Data Privacy to Impede the Market Growth


Human resource management solutions offer efficient digital management of employee data. Human resource management teams can monitor payrolls, leaves, and respective employee performance with a few clicks on the system. During these distressing times of COVID-19, social distancing has played a critical role in shifting businesses from conventional ways of communication and collaboration to digital infrastructure.


Remote work culture has proved to be a successful way to isolate people from society. Moving from the workplace to work from home has given companies a monumental challenge. Additionally, data security risks are rising with remote work. Thus, it is also essential to review human resource software to ensure that it suits specific security needs of human resource management. The lack of data security and privacy may hamper the market growth.
