The Future of Talent Acquisition Is Being Written

The Future of Talent Acquisition Is Being Written – Resourcing Leaders partners with Fosway Group

In an industry where the only constant is change, a new chapter in Talent Acquisition is being shaped – and the most strategic voices are being called to the table.

This year, Resourcing Leaders and RecFest have once again joined forces with Fosway Group, Europe’s leading HR industry analyst, to launch the TA Realities Research 2025. Now in its fourth year, this landmark initiative isn’t just tracking trends – it’s capturing the real stories behind how Talent Acquisition is evolving in the face of economic shifts, technological disruption, and the growing impact of AI.

Beyond Trends: Capturing the Realities of Talent Acquisition

TA Realities Research 2025 goes deeper than surface-level data. It explores how senior TA leaders are redefining strategies, overcoming disruption, and creating value in a volatile business environment. It asks the critical questions:

• How is AI truly reshaping recruiting practices – beyond the hype?
• What does best-in-class TA look like in 2025?
• How are organisations building resilience and agility into their talent strategies?

This year’s survey continues to track these areas as well as identifying the most successful approaches to hiring.

“AI is radically transforming recruiting strategies and practices. But, what’s unclear is how fast that transformation is filtering through into the day to day of TA teams. Anecdotally, we see seismic shifts from our conversations with TA leaders, but just how widespread those revolutionary changes are, is harder to judge,” said David Perring, Chief Insights Officer at Fosway Group. “By getting involved in our survey, not only are you able to get a sense of your benchmark with AI in recruiting, but also where in the curve the entire industry is in adoption and success. All great insights and intel are based on great data, and today every HR, recruiting and resourcing leader needs to be part of that story…”

Participating offers a unique opportunity to benchmark your approach against peers, discover what’s driving success in today’s dynamic landscape, and influence the insights that will steer the industry’s strategic direction in 2025 and beyond.

Those who complete the survey will receive priority access to the full research report later this year — a vital tool for forward-thinking TA and HR leaders who want to stay ahead of the curve. Early insights will be revealed at RecFest UK at Knebworth Park on 10th July, with a full strategic deep dive taking place at the Resourcing Leaders Summit in Whitstable from 24–26 September – bringing together some of the sharpest minds in Talent Acquisition for a critical discussion about what’s next.
