About the report

Talent acquisition is evolving. And as business needs change, the way TA delivers value must also adapt. It’s especially important to understand where TA can make the greatest impact, with constant adjustments across people, processes, and experience as the business landscape continues changing. 

We call this talent tuning, or continually adjusting TA so it can respond to changing business needs and help the business make better decisions about talent.

AI presents a significant opportunity to redesign how the function operates. In fact, organizations that redesign workflows rather than leaving them unchanged are 5.3x more likely to report value from AI, according to McKinsey. 

This report provides expert advice and a practical framework for identifying where technology can add value, where human expertise matters most, and how TA can evolve alongside the business.

  • Where HR stands with AI capability, and what it means for gaining a competitive advantage
