Humanforce, a leading global provider of intelligent, AI-driven Human Capital Management (HCM) for frontline and flexible workforces, has announced the launch of Smart Scheduling. Smart Scheduling is an advanced AI-powered rostering and scheduling experience that aligns labor to forecasted demand. Smart Scheduling reduces roster management time by up to 70% and can help lower labor costs by 15% through precise shift staffing.
Smart Scheduling is purpose-built for both organizations and their workforce. By building employee-centered rosters, organizations create fairer, more transparent schedules that elevate employee engagement and enhance performance.
Employees can manage their availability, receive shift offers, and provide consent for additional work through the Humanforce Work App, creating a more transparent, compliant, and flexible scheduling experience. The result is better alignment between workers and organizations, strengthening reliability, retention, and employer–employee trust.
“For frontline industries, the roster is where cost, compliance and experience collide. Smart Scheduling turns that complexity into action — aligning labor to demand while making scheduling fairer and more predictable for the people doing the work,” said Clayton Pyne, CEO of Humanforce.
Cangrade, the AI candidate screening platform, today announced an expanded technology partnership with UKG, a leading global provider of HR, payroll, workforce management, and culture solutions for all people. Following its existing integration with UKG Pro, Cangrade now extends its AI-powered screening capabilities to UKG Ready, UKG’s HCM suite built for small and mid-sized businesses.
For growing organizations, every hire carries significant weight. When a wrong hire joins a ten-person team, the impact is immediate and costly. Yet most growing organizations are still screening candidates the same way they always have, with resumes, credentials, and gut instinct. These factors are fast, familiar, and largely disconnected from understanding whether someone will actually succeed in a role.
Cangrade’s expansion into UKG Ready changes that by embedding AI-powered candidate screening directly into the HR workflows that smaller organizations already rely on. Organizations using both platforms can now build custom AI-powered screening flows instantly, with candidate data moving seamlessly between systems. This enables HR teams to get predictive performance insights at the moment they need them most. And because Cangrade’s screening intelligence extends across the talent lifecycle, the data that informs a hiring decision can also shape how that employee is onboarded, developed, and retained.
