NEW YORK, September 15, 2026 – PageUp, a global leader in talent acquisition software, today shared that Paige, the company’s agentic hiring assistant, has been named a Top HR Product by HR Executive, one of only 14 solutions to earn the designation for 2026.
Hosted by HR Executive and HR Tech, the annual Top HR Products competition aims to uncover the most impactful and forward-thinking technologies introduced into the market over the last year. Each submission is reviewed by a panel of esteemed judges and then assessed for innovation, functionality, ease of use and value to HR organisationsorganizations. After a rigorous evaluation and live product demonstration, PageUp Paige was recognisedrecognized as a Top HR Product of 2026.
Smarter hiring tools have created a new problem: a different agent for every task, and more work for recruiters rather than less. As candidates move from step to step, applicant data scatters and visibility goes with it. PageUp built Paige so hiring teams have one place to ask hiring questions. PageUp’s Paige serves as an intelligent recruiting assistant, providing real-time, source-cited answers. Through its unified, conversational AI interface, Paige helps to simplify tasks, surface relevant insights, and provide instant visibility throughout the hiring process. Paige allows recruiting teams to move faster and spend more time on strategic decisions.
PageUp CEO Eric Lochner commented, “The promise of AI recruiting shouldn’t mean having another full set of tools to manage. Rather than having one agent for each step of the process, Paige connects hiring data from different sources and delivers clear, trustworthy answers in one place. The result is less complexity and more time for what matters: making great hires. PageUp believes that’s the future of AI in hiring, and we’re thrilled to see the industry agree, naming Paige a Top HR Product for 2026.”
“The most compelling HR technologies do more than just address the challenges HR teams face today – they help anticipate what’s next,” said industry analyst and judge Madeline Laurano. “This year’s Top HR Product winners show how innovation, grounded in market needs, can deliver greater efficiency, better insights and more strategic value. These are the kinds of solutions that move the industry forward and redefine what’s possible for HR.”
PageUp will be honored on Monday, October 19, during the HR Icons Awards Evening at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, the night before HR Tech 2026. Those attending the conference will have the opportunity to see PageUp’s award-winning Paige in action by visiting Booth No. 3114 during expo hours Tuesday, October 20 to Thursday, October 22.
