HR Software or Human Resources software

HR software is the intersection of human resource processes and information technology, commonly known as a human resources information system (HRIS) or human resources management system (HRMS). At the beginning, HR software emerged as a computer solution to get rid of the filing cabinets that recruiters were keeping to store the resumes received from candidates. Then, after refining the HR software as a system of record for administrative transactions, vendors added functionality to help companies to track applicants during the recruiting process. See Applicant Tracking System.
