IPA FE Subject A 2024 Question 18
A question IPA Japan published in 令和６年度 基本情報技術者試験 科目A 公開問題 問18, translated into English. ITPEC is based on the same exams.
Which of the following is an explanation of HR Tech?
Explanation
ICT such as big data analysis and AI applied to HR work — HR Tech (human resources + technology) improves recruitment, development, evaluation and placement and raises employee satisfaction.
Examples: screening applications and predicting fit with AI, recommending training from each employee's skills, analysing evaluation and attendance data to place people where they perform best, and pulse surveys that spot staff likely to leave. Like other "X-Tech" terms, the name joins a business field to the technology applied to it.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- •(a) — monitoring a home's energy use and controlling its appliances remotely or automatically is a HEMS (home energy management system)
- •(b) — new technology or a business model that upsets an industry's order and vested interests is digital disruption (disruptive innovation)
- •(c) — personal financial management services and marketplace lending are Fintech, IT applied to financial services
Key rule: X-Tech names pair a field with IT: HR Tech for human resources, Fintech for finance, EdTech for education, and so on.
