AI Market Assessment for Talent Acquisition

Fosway Group has taken more than just a ‘deep dive’ into the world of AI in talent acquisition – this is an ongoing interrogation. The Fosway AI Market Assessment for Talent Acquisition 2026, a significant update on the state of the market in 2025, provides buyers with a clear analysis of AI innovation in TA, and the progress vendors are making on their AI roadmaps in 2026.

It uses a clear, data-led view of the reality of AI in Talent Acquisition today, showing where vendors are innovating the most with AI, what is live with customers, and where AI is heading next.

The AI Market Assessment paper aims to provide European TA teams with the talent acquisition AI insights they need to make confident, informed decisions about AI in 2026 and beyond.

The AI Market Assessment paper is the start of the deliverables from a multi-phase, open-ended research programme that offers multiple engagement points for HR, learning and talent teams and vendors to understand the value of getting and staying ahead of the technology and make better decisions on their supply options and how AI impacts their business.
