New Talent Acquisition Technology Research from Nucleus Research Reinforces Hiring Challenges

In the past year, employers went from bracing for an increase in applicants to enduring mass resignations and having to rebuild employee headcounts from scarce talent pools. This abrupt change has led talent acquisition needs to shift from vetting and assessment capabilities to tools that attract and engage quality candidates according to the 2021 Talent Acquisition Technology Matrix from Nucleus Research.

"While vendors have shifted much of their focus to address hiring challenges, customers continue to benefit from capabilities that enable recruiters and hiring managers to collaborate remotely," said Research Manager Evelyn McMullen. "Analytics tools have also been helpful in giving organizations full visibility into their talent acquisition process and providing insight into how they can best prepare for an unpredictable future."

The five identified leaders in the space continue to make investments in augmenting capabilities for all functions of talent acquisition while competing for market leadership in candidate attraction and engagement.
