More HRD Tech News:
- Justworks has launched a new tax deferral feature and Paycheck Protection Program reporting functionality, as part of a dynamic COVID-19 relief centre built into its software.

- Censia has launched the ReadyToHire initiative, which uses AI to match workers displaced by the COVID-19 pandemic to job openings at companies with urgent hiring needs. Censia leverages AI to model thousands of factors that predict role fit, discovers transferable skills, and then finds those qualified job seekers from Censia’s database of more than 500 million professionals (via Yahoo! Finance).
- BetterUp has partnered with AB InBev in order to offer a new global pilot program to drive diversity, foster an inclusive work environment, and provide coaching and support in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.
