There is a growing blind spot in hiring. In 2025, 1 in 15 candidates: • Met qualifications • Passed criminal checks • Reached offer stage …and still showed high-risk behavioral signals online. Traditional screening answers: ✅Can they do the job? ✅Have they broken the law? It does NOT answer: ➡️ How might they behave at work? As people spend more time online than offline, risk is no longer hidden. It’s public. It’s fast. And it’s missed. Tomorrow, Ben Mones and Hung Lee are talking Rage Posts & Data Leaks: TA’s Roadmap to Prevent Workplace Threats with Modern Screening They will cover: • Where early risk signals show up online • Why legacy processes fail to catch them • How to modernize screening without adding friction If you're a TA leader you won't want to miss this!

If most organizations still describe their hiring as “chaotic,” what are top TA teams doing differently? From the HR.com + Fama research on the future of talent acquisition in 2025, leaders stand out because they: ✅Build proactive pipelines instead of hiring in “fire drills” ✅Stack and integrate recruiting tech, often using five or more paid tools ✅Use AI, analytics, and behavior insights to see risk and potential earlier ✅Track metrics that matter: quality of hire, candidate experience, and long‑term impact They’re not just filling roles. They’re shaping stronger, safer teams with data‑driven intelligence. We’ve turned the key findings into an infographic you can share with your TA, HR, and executive teams.

Workplace misconduct isn't staying in the break room anymore. It’s moving to everyone’s feed. In 2026, a school district's reputation can change in the time it takes for a video to go viral.
