Is HR tech really costing companies talent?

The data says yes. Disconnected HR tech is directly linked to higher cost per hire, longer time to hire, weaker employer branding, and lower quality of hire. This report breaks down where these costs could be adding up for your organisation.

What's the difference between an all-purpose HR platform and a purpose-built TA stack?

Generic platforms (often outdated ERPs) are built for broad, cross-department operational coverage, not the depth of workflow and data sophistication that talent acquisition requires. Purpose-built solutions like PageUp are tailored for TA and connect to the rest of the HR ecosystem through robust integrations, giving teams both specialisation and connected data.

How much does poor HR tech integration actually cost?

SHRM reports the average cost-per-hire has risen to $5,475, driven largely by sourcing complexity. Organisations with poor system integration are also far less likely to accurately track cost per hire (13% vs. 41% for those with superior TA technology).
