See what 1,200+ TA pros told us about today’s recruiting realities, where they’re investing next, and how you can turn these insights into your 2026 strategy. Backed by research from over 1,200 talent acquisition professionals, the 2025 Recruiter Nation Report reveals the critical trends reshaping the labor market. From shifting priorities and tech disruptions to AI adoption hurdles and the rise of skills-first strategies, the data makes one thing clear: the way organizations attract and hire talent is entering a new era.

Our hiring experts will decode the findings, reveal how TA leaders are responding to today’s challenges, and show you how you can use these insights to get ahead (and stay there).

Here’s what’s on the agenda:

Quantity vs quality: candidate pipelines are expanding, yet demand continues to outpace supply—and tech is the only way to manage the scale.
Tech shake ups: budgets are growing while satisfaction tanks, pushing teams to make both investments and cuts to their stack.
The data dilemma: what recruiters want to measure vs. what they actually can—and how to bridge the gap.
AI with guardrails: the biggest wins and the biggest worries in today’s adoption curve.
Skills-based hiring: why early adopters are already realizing ROI—and how to bring the skeptics along.

Miss this session, and you’re giving your competitors a head start. Don’t hand over your edge in the race for talent.
