Why HR Should Bet on Technology [INFOGRAPHIC]

What happens in Vegas shouldn’t always stay in Vegas, especially if it involves the future of hiring. Useful HR technology seems to be popping up daily, making it a sure bet to roll the dice on new technology.

Just look at a few of these stats and you’ll certainly consider spinning the wheel on new HR technology in order to hire the best:

• 94 percent of recruiters plan to use social media in their recruitment efforts

• More than 6 in 10 companies are now using video interviews in their recruiting process

• 70 percent of active job seekers are using their mobile devices to look for jobs
