Webinar 1 Playback: 2026 State of Talent Acquisition – The Structural Evolution

Want to know what everyone in TA is thinking about right now, and how your Talent Team compares?

In March 2026, we surveyed 244 Talent Leaders in the 2026 State of Talent Acquisition Survey. Now, we’re unpacking the story behind the stats in this webinar playback.

The first session focused on transformation, workforce strategy, and the structural shifts reshaping Talent functions.

  • AI Strategy & Governance: Where the 244 organisations are on their AI infrastructure.
  • Agents & Agentic Benefits: Where respondents see the greatest value, contrasted against the biggest barriers slowing adoption.
  • The Skills-Based Organisation: What it really means, who typically leads it, how organisations are getting started, and the implications for TA teams.
  • Org-Wide Redundancies: What has been driving organisation-wide redundancies over the past 12 months.
  • Strategic Focus: Where HR and Talent teams are concentrating their attention in 2026, from SBO to AI and Work Redesign to Talent Advisory.

The 2026 State of TA survey and webinar were delivered in partnership with Eightfold and Greenhouse. All webinar registrants will receive the report after Webinar Part 2 on Tuesday, 28 July at 11 am AEST.
