Top 10 Qualities Of A Great Intern
Internships are the closest thing many students get to a real job audition; short, noisy, and oddly revealing. Employers still hire from their intern pools, but they’re pickier than they used to be: recent NACE data shows employers extended full-time offers to roughly 62% of their 2024 intern classes, a noticeable dip from prior years.

20 Employee Benefits That Boost Retention and Engagement
What matters are the things that reduce daily friction: predictable pay, health care people can use, time to breathe, and opportunities to grow. Right now, engagement numbers are slipping: Gallup reports global engagement fell again in 2024, so benefits have real teeth as a retention tool. At the same time, employers keep telling researchers that […]
From Gut Feeling To Data‑Driven Hiring Decisions
Every hiring conversation typically starts with that gut feeling, when someone just clicks. But research paints a very different picture. Multiple studies reveal that unstructured interviews, those open-ended chats where questions vary, have predictive accuracy barely above chance, explaining just about 14–20% of job performance. That means charisma and first impressions can easily overshadow actual […]
How To Leverage Internal Talent Marketplace With HR Tech?
Think about the last time one of your best employees left. Chances are, it wasn’t just about pay, it was because they didn’t see room to grow. This is where internal talent marketplaces come in. Instead of losing people to outside opportunities, organizations can use HR tech to match employees with new projects, stretch assignments, […]
How Blockchain is Transforming HRIS Security
Every organisation keeps a surprisingly large file on its employees, from payroll numbers and bank details to addresses, medical histories, and even notes on behaviour. It’s highly personal, and in the wrong hands, deeply risky. Yet most of it still sits on centralised servers, prime targets for hackers or anyone with bad intentions. This isn’t […]
Why HR Teams Must Take Cybersecurity Seriously
When your HR database is a mess, it doesn’t just slow things down; it can lead to real consequences. Think about it: outdated addresses can mess up tax forms, duplicate employee profiles can throw off headcount planning, and incorrect bank details might delay someone’s paycheck. Mistakes like these don’t just slow things down; they create […]
What Is A Headless HR System? Pros And Cons Explained
Think of your HR software like a box of Lego bricks; each one does something different, like payroll, hiring, or performance tracking. With a headless system, you decide how those bricks snap together. The backend and interface are decoupled, connected by APIs. Instead of being tied to one vendor’s interface, you build or pick exactly […]
The Strategic Role Of HR In Preventing Internal Data Breaches
It’s easy to focus on the flashy headlines about hackers, but sometimes the real danger comes from inside. When someone in HR clicks the wrong link or a former employee retains access, it can hurt just as much as any external hack. Most data breaches start with simple mistakes, usually by someone inside. Some reports […]
Predictive HR Analytics: Use Cases And Benefits
Predictive HR analytics takes HR beyond hunches by turning data into foresight. It examines a mix of historical and current workforce signals, from engagement trends to performance scores, and applies statistical and machine‑learning models to anticipate future outcomes. Rather than reacting after attrition or skills gaps appear, HR teams can proactively intervene, whether that means […]
