“The social HR revolution has gone mainstream, and this is reflected in the enormous momentum TribeHR is experiencing,” said Joseph Fung, CEO of TribeHR. “Across the board, businesses and HR departments are realizing the profound impact of social HR, recognizing productivity gains, cost reductions and, most importantly, engaging their workforces. In fact, not only have we seen new customer growth accelerate, but our existing customers have been increasing their investment by 16 percent month-over-month as they experience the benefits of the TribeHR social HR software platform.”

“I originally started using TribeHR to assist with social recruiting and applicant tracking, but very quickly realized its value and potential for tracking, managing and motivating employees,” said TribeHR customer Jillian Mood, Director of Corporate Culture and Talent Acquisition at Magmic Inc. “Today, TribeHR is the backbone of every aspect of my role, helping me move beyond admin so I can focus on nurturing our talent and building the strongest workplace culture.”
