Key Takeaways Introduction MCP in MintHCM is a server built into the system that lets AI assistants like Claude read and update HR data in plain language, without logging into the system, building a report or writing a query. It is not an external add-on or a third-party service – it is part of the same codebase published on GitHub. For a business, that means…
Key Takeaways Candidate trust in AI recruitment doesn’t depend on whether a company uses the technology – it depends on how. Only 19% of candidates would want to see less AI in the hiring process. At the same time, 38% have walked away from applying because an AI interview was included without prior notice (Greenhouse, 2026). The gap between these two numbers…
Key Takeaways The problem isn’t too few candidates. It’s too much noise. Recruiters in 2026 are seeing more applications than ever, not fewer. That sounds like good news until you look at what’s driving the volume. AI tools have made it trivial for candidates to generate a polished, tailored resume in minutes, a task that used to take an afternoon. The result…
Key Takeaways What Is Shadow AI in HR and Why Does It Affect Recruitment Teams Specifically?

The document places open source software at the center of EU digital policy and signals a preference for open software in public procurement. For organizations choosing an HR system, this creates a new, formal argument for open source,…
Key Takeaways In the previous article, we described how an HR Project would gather context around a change initiative – its goal, timeline, positions, and people. This AI transformation scenario shows what that could look like in a concrete example: a customer service department going through a change driven by AI. What does a workforce gap look like in this AI transformation scenario? A workforce gap…
Key Takeaways In the previous article, we described how HR systems lack a place to track role transformation as an initiative over time. The HR Project is a concept MintHCM is considering as a response to that gap: a parent record that could gather context around an organizational change – its goal, timeline, and related positions and people. This is a development direction, not a module available…
Key Takeaways Companies are transforming roles under the influence of AI faster than they can document it. A developer becomes an AI-assisted software engineer, a consultant starts working as a low-code developer, a customer support team goes through reorganization – and the HR system still shows only who formally holds which position, with no trace of the change itself.
