Strategically Shape

The Future Of

Talent Acquisition

In today's shifting landscape, the demands on Talent Acquisition have never been greater. The post-pandemic experience has been highly volatile, and talent acquisition teams are consistently being asked to achieve better results with fewer resources.

Simultaneously, AI is on the brink of transforming the way employers attract and develop talent. Change is imminent, and it's going to be on a scale and pace that we've never witnessed before. The talent acquisition function is likely to undergo a significant transformation in the next 18 months.

It's an incredibly disruptive time at the moment, and it's understandable that people feel uncertain about the future. I recently conducted a poll on LinkedIn, asking people how far ahead they felt they could accurately predict the future of talent acquisition. Shockingly, only 22% of respondents felt confident about predicting more than a year out.
