What is HR Technology?
HR technology (HR tech) is the umbrella term for all software and digital tools used to manage human resources functions. This includes applicant tracking systems, HRIS platforms, payroll software, learning management systems, performance management tools, employee engagement platforms, and workforce analytics. The HR tech landscape has grown rapidly, with organisations typically using 10-15 different HR tools as part of their technology stack.
Why it matters
The right HR tech stack can transform how organisations attract, manage, and retain talent. But the wrong stack, or too many disconnected tools, creates data silos, manual workarounds, and frustrated users. The key is choosing platforms that integrate well, serve actual needs rather than theoretical ones, and scale with your organisation. For recruitment specifically, the ATS is usually the anchor of the HR tech stack and must connect smoothly with everything else.

Teamtailor fits into your HR tech stack as the recruitment layer, connecting seamlessly with HRIS, payroll, assessment, background check, and communication tools through 450+ integrations and an open API.
