The 2026 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Talent Acquisition is out today. The 2026 report highlights key talent acquisition market trends, including ongoing quality of hire metrics, the continued encroachment of HCM suites, a backlash to AI-generated applications clogging up the employer hiring funnel, as well as questions to answer around pay transparency norms across EMEA. Revealing the market and solution trends in the TA market, the 2026 Fosway 9-Grid™ report shows that: • The hiring market is cautious, uneven, and harder to read • The requisition is no longer the starting point for TA • Quality of hire is the metric TA is least ready to prove still provide only cursory support. • TA spend shifts from reach to productivity • AI moves deeper into hiring workflows, but accountability lands with the employer Lead analyst on the 2026 9-Grid™ for Talent Acquisition and Fosway’s Head of Analyst Services, Sven Elbert, added, “AI is changing what companies hire for, how candidates engage, and how decisions are supported across the recruitment funnel.

On June 16 at 10am ET, Joanna Keel will break down the new fraud playbook and the multi-layered approach that catches it in real time — across application, assessment, and interview.
