Launching our 2026 TA Trends Survey: What's shaping Talent Acquisition in the coming year?
Most "State of the Industry" reports miss the mark. They ask executives about aspirations and deliver buzzword-heavy predictions about "AI transformation," but rarely provide the actionable, ground-level data TA leaders need to make decisions right now.
We're answering the questions that actually matter:
- Which recruitment advertising channels deliver actual ROI—not just those we're told to use?
- What do employer brand budgets look like at comparable companies?
- How are TA leaders successfully navigating 300+ competing point solutions?
- Are teams proactively preparing for generative AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity), or taking a "wait-and-see" approach?
- What separates top-performing TA teams from the rest?
These questions go unanswered because most trend reports survey the wrong audience or are funded by vendors with biased agendas. We're running independent research to gather honest, practitioner-driven data.
Your responses are confidential and anonymous.
- Early access to our full 2026 TA Trends Report (February 2026)
- An invitation to our private TA Leaders peer community
- Quarterly trend updates throughout the year
- An optional free diagnostic session with the Talivity strategic consulting team
If you're a Talent Acquisition or HR leader who is involved in budget or vendor decisions, we'd love your input.
Survey closes: January 31, 2026
The recruiting industry doesn't need another white paper full of consultant-speak.
It needs honest data from practitioners on what truly works.
