With the dawn (thankfully) of the SaaS concept, HR companies have begun automating their modus operandi which usually requires no IT, hardware or software support so as to make the complete agenda affordable and efficient. Companies that are bringing technology to HR either cover all the primary functions or just particular ones. We have done our fair share of research; looking to aid the HR ecosystem we’re giving you a list of new age HR technology companies that focus on only a couple, if not just one human resource function:
