"The future of AI in HR isn't a chatbot. It's a colleague," said Jim Barnett, Wisq's CEO and Co-Founder. "We built HRLM because HR requires better than general-purpose AI — and because the work HR does is too important to be handled generically." To anchor this launch, Wisq is also introducing Hurdle, the industry's first benchmark designed to evaluate AI performance on HR-specific activities like employee relations, performance feedback, and policy interpretation. HRLM performs at parity on Hurdle with the most advanced reasoning models available — including OpenAI o3 and others — while operating faster, and at a fraction of the cost.
