What’s one thing top-level execs wish HR folks were better at? Answer:

Using technology.

In a recent survey, software firm Vurv asked 779 executives to assess their HR managers and describe the areas they’d like to see improvement in.

Though the mastering of technology wasn’t ranked as a top challenge, the execs surveyed clearly saw room for improvement. When asked how their people were at using HR technology, only 22% said “expert.”

In contrast, 20% said “novice,” with the rest saying “intermediate.”

What do they want specifically? The most common response was a better use of the Internet to find new employees.
