Whilst AI has been a buzzword in HR for years, 2024 marks a significant shift towards real world application and practical implementation.

Organisations transitioning to a skills-based operating model are redefining how work is organised. This is driven by the need to address real talent shortages.

Upskilling and reskilling are the top strategic priority for learning. Compliance and regulatory training has long been the top driver of corporate learning, but in 2024 things have changed.

Whilst the impact of AI on L&D is comparatively low today, with only one in four reporting any significant impact from AI, expectations for 2025 are high.

In only its third year, Fosway's TA Realities research has already built a significant library of data and insight, exploring how TA teams are dealing with change.

Hire quality, candidate experience, external hiring and recruiting value are now the lead talent acquisition priorities for the year ahead.

Only one in four expects to see their talent acquisition budget grow this year, and the pressure to do more is a day-to-day reality for most TA professionals.

Fosway Group shares results from its 3rd annual Talent Acquisition (TA) Realities Research, in partnership with Recfest, the biggest global event in the talent acquisition calendar.

This annual survey, now in its 3rd edition, offers comprehensive insights into the current trends, challenges, and opportunities faced by TA professionals in today’s rapidly evolving world.
