The Benchmarks You Need. The Insights You’ve Been Waiting For.

In March 2026, 244 Talent Teams from across Australia and New Zealand gave us a picture of what is happening inside their Talent function right now. Now, we’re unpacking the story behind the stats in the report.

The report unpacks transformation, workforce strategy, structural shifts reshaping Talent functions, delivery, capability, maturity, emerging trends impacting hiring in 2026 and so much more.

Delivered in partnership with our friends at Eightfold and Greenhouse, the 2026 State of Talent Acquisition Report is a resource for Talent Teams to get a better idea of where Talent Acquisition is headed and provide benchmark data against which to review their own function.
