What This Year’s Data Reveals

The results are in and they reveal where teams are investing their resources, the challenges they’re up against, and the priorities shaping the future of talent acquisition.

Here’s what you need to know (and act on):

• Applicant pools are bigger, but quality is thin, and skills-based hiring could be the fix.  
• With 76% planning a tech stack refresh, this report shows where leaders are investing next. 
• AI results are real, but so are the risks—bias, governance, and fraud are top of mind. 
• Even when the market favors employers, leading teams invest in candidate experience. 
• Most teams are stuck in spreadsheets—find out how leaders are moving from tracking efficiencies to proving impact. 

Bottom line: If you’re not reading this report, you’re already behind.
