Talent Acquisition Realities 2025 part 5: Talent acquisition and AI

Fosway Group – Europe’s #1 HR industry analyst – has partnered with Recfest, the world’s leading disruptor of TA events, to bring you Talent Acquisition Realities 2025. Now in its fourth year, this landmark research explores the end-to-end talent experience, giving TA leaders the data and insight they need to stay ahead in a time of neverending change. The infographics are part of a five-part series published weekly, and you can find the results of part five below.

AI and Talent Acquisition

A snapshot of the fifth infographic: AI’s potential impact is accelerating – 90% (vs 83% last year) see at least some future impact in their work. Today only one in four TA professionals thinks the potential of AI in recruiting is overhyped. However – less than one in four has actively implemented AI as part of their hiring experience.

Talent acquisition remains an area at the forefront of HR technology. And while only 4% of respondents this year cite a decrease in team headcount because of AI, this rises to 25% predicting a reduction in the coming year. TA teams are savvy to the downsides as well as the advantages of the most important technological development in recruitment in a generation. Nevertheless, there is plenty of work still to be done to leverage AI and improve the candidate experience. Through this research, the 9-Grid™ for Talent Acquisition and the Market Assessment papers from Phase One of our Strategic AI Programme, Fosway Group will continue to lead the way in showing the lived reality of the entire TA tech landscape.
