2026: Building AI in HR that Works for People

The hype around AI in HR is louder than ever. But at Gecko HRM, we are choosing a different path. One grounded in reality, not headlines.

We are not chasing demos or building agents for the sake of it. We are building AI that works in real businesses, solving real problems. And in 2026, we are doubling down on what makes this possible.

Five lessons that shape our AI vision

Our CEO Marko Perme recently shared five clear lessons from our work with Salesforce’s Agentforce architecture. These are not just ideas, they are the foundation of how we design every new feature at Gecko HRM.

• Start with what works today. Forget the hype. The best AI use cases are narrow, reliable, and ready now. From routing support tickets to summarising CVs, we are focusing on solutions that deliver value today.
  
• It’s not just the prompt. It’s the platform. AI is only as good as the structure behind it. Agentforce gives us the observability, guardrails, and governance we need to build safe, scalable agents for HR teams.
  
• AI must pay its way. If it does not save time or improve outcomes, it will not last. Every new feature should be judged by its ROI.
  
• Move beyond demos. Building for production means handling real-world complexity. That is why Gecko agents are built for deployment, not just presentation.
  
• Organisation matters. AI is a team effort. We help our clients structure ownership, KPIs, and feedback loops around every agent they deploy.
  

What’s next for Gecko HRM?

2025 marked a major milestone: Gecko HRM is now moving forward as an independent company. With that, our vision is clearer than ever – to become the leading HRM solution for teams that want flexibility, automation, and a great user experience.

Here is how we are putting that into action:

• Smarter automation: We are upgrading Gecko AI with two new features designed to simplify hiring and onboarding:
  
  • Candidate Job Alignment: Helps recruiters and hiring managers see how well a candidate fits a role by comparing profiles with job criteria. The feature highlights overlaps, gaps, and discussion points to support fairer, faster decisions.
    
  • Smart Form Filler: Turns uploaded documents like CVs or ID scans into completed HR forms. By extracting key details and auto-filling fields, it reduces manual effort and errors, saving time and improving accuracy.
    
• Focused development: In 2026, our team’s top priority will be a reconstruction of the recruitment module. This upgrade will bring a faster, smarter, more intuitive experience to one of the most critical HR workflows.
  
• Customer-first mindset: We are scaling support and success programmes to ensure every HR team gets the guidance they need and have the best user experience possible.
  
• From reports to results: From turning analytics into action, and information into impact, our drive continues to be helping HR professionals become a true partner to the business.
