Talent Acquisition Realities 2024 part 1: Strategy and priorities

Fosway Group, Europe’s #1 HR industry analyst, has published its annual Talent Acquisition Realities research for 2024, in association with Recfest, the global leader in TA events, and the ultimate twice-yearly gathering for in-house recruitment teams to connect and innovate.

Hire quality, candidate experience, external hiring and recruiting value are now the lead talent acquisition priorities for the year ahead, and economic headwinds are biting with 75% reporting stagnating or reduced budgets. Challenging times, but a climate in which TA teams are looking to adjust to through a focus on internal development and retention, amongst other areas of focus.

The infographics are part of a five-part series published weekly, and results can be found below.

Strategy and Priorities

A snapshot of the first infographic: In last year’s survey, internal mobility was rated ahead of external hiring with 63% placing it as a top priority, but this year the tables have turned, and external hiring is back in vogue. Internal mobility has slumped by 20% on last year’s numbers and slipped from 3rd to 6th.

We are excited to launch this year’s survey and look forward to uncovering insights that help shape the HR strategies of tomorrow. We encourage HR professionals to join us in this research at a time of immense innovation and change
