In the world of HR, one question comes up year after year: how can we leverage new technological advances and incorporate them into our hiring process?
Instead of presenting outcomes and metrics that are relevant only to HR, frame your requests in a different way, a way that benefits everyone.

If HR can’t convince leaders that technology will benefit the entire business, then the conversation will be a lost cause.
