In a Confusing Labor Market, HR Teams Are Turning to Brokers

Image
As economic uncertainty clouds hiring and workforce planning, HR teams are not reacting to a downturn, but rather preparing for one. In doing so, they’re increasingly leaning on brokers to help them navigate what comes next. According to isolved’s 2026 Emerging Trends for Brokers report , 93% of brokers say clients now seek support beyond traditional benefits services. That statistic reflects a change in the broker-HR relationship as we know it. Employers no longer just need help managing renewals. They want brokers to year-round strategic partners who guide them towards wise decisions on workforce planning, tech adoption, compliance and long-term resilience. The challenges keeping HR leaders up at night in 2026 are extensive. However, isolved data reveals that three issues top the list: economic uncertainty, technology adoption and data security.

From Resumes to Signals: How HRTech is Rebuilding Talent Discovery Systems?

Image
For decades, hiring has centered around resumes. These documents have been used by organisations as their primary means of assessing candidates, looking at their qualifications, experience and career development. The resume became a standardised form of a candidate’s professional identity, a snapshot hiring managers could scan quickly and use to make decisions. This approach provided a structured way to filter applicants, but it was built for an era when roles were more static, career paths were linear and the pace of change in skills was relatively slow. But the limitations of resumes have become increasingly clear in today’s rapidly changing workforce. A resume by design is a frozen document that reflects a candidate’s past, not the present skills or future potential. It tends to put a premium on credentials, job titles, and tenure with the company, which can be biased and fail to recognize people with non-traditional backgrounds or new skillsets. Also, resumes aren’t even relevant...
