HRIS Careers Podcast
Welcome to the HRIS Careers podcast. A podcast specifically for Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) Professionals. We always say, no one gets into HRIS on purpose, but it sure is interesting to find out how they did.
We interview your HRIS peers to find out how they got tricked into the industry, and what lessons and tools they used to progress their careers along the way.
We discuss industry trends, AI, and even talk candidly about all the most popular HRIS platforms.
