The Top 5 Talent Acquisition Challenges Facing Employers in 2026

November 25, 2025

The hiring landscape in 2026 will feel both familiar and changed for HR professionals. Many talent acquisition (TA) trends are extensions of the challenges talent teams have managed for years, while others introduce fresh complications that require strategic upgrades.  This article explores the top talent acquisition challenges organizations will face in 2026 and offers practical approaches to translate strategy into results. Challenge #1: The Hiring Process Is Taking Too Long In 2026, candidates are more discerning as they weigh their options, resulting in extended hiring cycles. With multiple offers at play, unnecessary additional steps are a friction point, increasing the likelihood of top candidates accepting jobs elsewhere. For TA functions, this presents a clear opportunity: Simplify and sharpen the pathway to hire, starting with process design. Implementation steps may include:  Removing redundant interviews and approvals. Standardizing interview scorecards. Consolidating key decisions to advance hiring predictably.  At the same time, preserve human input for high-value interactions, such as cultural fit conversations, stakeholder alignment, and structured negotiations. Leveraging AI innovation can fast-track processes like sourcing, initial screening, scheduling, and basic assessments, enabling recruiters to focus on candidate relationships and more complex decision-making. Gartner research reflects this shift, predicting that as high-volume recruiting goes AI-first in the year ahead, recruiter skills will also transform.  HR professionals will fill the shoes of talent advisors, focusing on talent strategy and role design. By automating admin bottlenecks, organizations can shorten lead times, improve the candidate experience, and act decisively in a competitive market, ultimately lowering recruiting cost-per-hire.  Use metrics such as time-to-offer, interview-to-offer conversion rates, and candidate drop rate to identify delays. Challenge #2: Skills Gaps in Emerging Industries The market is not short on people so much as it is short on specific, emergent skills. This widespread trend is a natural consequence of fast-growing industries and the corresponding technical competencies required to drive growth. While Hayes found that technical skills have the most severe deficit (57%), they're closely followed by critical thinking (50%), leadership (47%), and communication (41%).  Emerging industries are not the only culprits: Ageing populations, STEM education gaps, and shifts in global trade are contributing to the demand surges. In Australia, Hayes reports that 85% of hiring managers face critical skills gaps. Organizations that treat skills-based hiring and internal upskilling as strategic workforce planning will create a more sustainable path to resilience.  Adopt Skills-First Hiring Define applicant qualifications by their demonstrable skill sets rather than exaggerated credentials. While assessing competence will still be a challenge, sourcing relevant work samples and scenario-based exercises can demonstrate proficiency quickly. It can also reduce the uncertainty that stems from resume screening alone. According to the above report, 86% of Australian hiring managers are using this strategy, and 74% find that new hires meet or exceed requirements. Invest in Upskilling and Internal Mobility Forging partnerships with government agencies and higher education establishments to provide structured learning pathways and apprenticeships can convert existing talent into priority hires. Upskilling reduces external search pressure and improves retention by demonstrating an employer’s commitment to professional development. Challenge #3: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Is Becoming Essential Diversity programs are still headlining, but the emphasis has shifted. Inclusion and belonging now carry greater weight in driving performance gains and reducing turnover. A Catalyst report found that more than three out of four employees (76%) say they're more likely to remain with an employer that supports DEIB long-term. This challenge pushes employers to look beyond headcount targets. To make DEIB operational, businesses can embed equity into the hiring process through replicable interviews, diverse candidate lineups, and blind screening. Use data from offer rates, promotion volumes, and retention to surface HR trends within the business and course-correct where necessary.  Another angle is rethinking early-career pipelines. Apprenticeship and mentorship programs increase access for underrepresented groups and build long-term talent development. When organizations attach KPIs to DEIB outcomes, including equitable promotion rates, balanced representation at all levels, and retention by demographic cohort, it becomes an operational reality. It also carries clear benefits.  According to the above report, 84% of C-suite leaders and 83% of legal leaders say their organizations have seen a positive correlation between their DEIB programs and employee attraction and retention.  Challenge #4: Employees Demand Balance Well-being and fulfillment have matured from a perk into an expectation: Candidates are scouring for roles that support work-life balance (45%) and better working conditions (39%), both of which contribute to a more positive employee experience. For employers, the implication is that flexibility is key, and it must be both purposeful and functional. In 2026, it will extend beyond remote work, too. Businesses might include schedule autonomy, compressed workweeks, output-focused goals, and benefits tailored to life stages — for instance, flexibility around studying, parental responsibilities, or elderly care. To offer employees greater independence while supporting broader business goals, organizations can prioritize results over presence and define expectations around collaborative and asynchronous work. Once again, measurement matters. Track participation in flexible programs, performance benchmarks across work modes, and promotion rates to make sure flexibility supports different employee groups as well as business priorities. Companies that manage this effectively widen the candidate pool and reduce voluntary turnover — especially among groups for whom rigid schedules create barriers, such as caregivers and geographically dispersed talent.  Bring Mental Health Into the Equation The World Health Organization (WHO) has quantified the risks to mental health in the workplace — and the resulting U.S. $1 trillion annual loss in productivity. Beyond catering  for “mental health days,” the WHO found that the factors contributing to mental health risks include, and are not limited to:  Under-utilizing skills or being under-skilled for the job.  Over or under promotion. Long, unsocial, or inflexible work hours.  Unclear job role. Lack of control over job design or workload.  Job insecurity, inadequate pay, or poor professional development opportunities.  Conflicting home/work demands. When the working environment does not directly reinforce mentally healthy employees, or when employers don’t emphasize mental health support, performance and productivity are the first to take a hit. These are all elements that human resource and talent leaders can factor into the employee value proposition (EVP) to enhance talent attraction and retention.  Challenge #5: There’s Too Much Noise in the Market The talent market is crowded, making it increasingly difficult for employers to: a) Stand out against the competition, and  b) Attract and retain the talent they genuinely need to meet industry demands.  Exacerbating the challenge is talent leaders using similar language (like culture, growth, and flexibility) to attract candidates, which forces them to rely on demonstrable signals to confirm the message. That makes authenticity an asset. A strong employer brand and credible EVP must be coherent across narrative and practice. In 2026, employer branding should clearly demonstrate three main aspects: development pathways, measurable inclusion, and transparent work models. Employers should back up claims with evidence, such as retention data, promotion rates, and examples of human–AI collaboration, to ensure their message genuinely resonates. EVP refreshes should focus on lived experience, and a widespread leap in AI hybrid roles is just one cog in the wheel for talent leaders. Early evidence shows that among AI-enabled roles, workers are experiencing reduced human collaboration (49%) and fewer opportunities to learn on the job (39%).  In these cases, it's challenging to realize AI's potential without accounting for its impact on the human experience. Organizations should reflect these shifts in their EVPs. However, the disparity between companies that recognize the importance of an updated EVP that reflects human-machine collaborations (69%) and those making meaningful progress (6%) is an order of magnitude.  As employers face increasingly nuanced challenges, data and analytics are instrumental in identifying strategic gaps and uncovering viable pathways forward. The Role of Data-Driven Recruiting and Analytics in 2026 Data separates tactics from strategic impact, and analytics reveal hitches in the recruitment strategy and which operations drive risk. In practice, TA teams should data-enable the hiring process end-to-end, including funnel conversion, time-to-offer, quality-of-hire, early tenure, cohort progression, and retention. Predictive models can help identify candidates more likely to accept offers, groups at risk of attrition, and future roles that will be the hardest to fill. But they only deliver meaningful insight when supported by standardized metrics and processes. Where internal capability is constrained, external partners can augment talent acquisition strategies.  Recruitment process outsourcing and consulting deliver analytics, process redesign, and operational scale quickly. For example, Envision’s data-led TA consulting services leverage analytics to operationalize effective talent strategies, helping organizations address gaps more quickly. For many businesses, partnering with specialists accelerates value while building internal skill. Stay Ahead of Recruitment Challenges in 2026 The year ahead will reward clarity in a complex environment. Talent acquisition challenges in 2026 will present both new and emerging bumps in the road, and analytics is increasingly key to transforming these bumps into measurable investments. Prioritize interventions that address the most prominent challenges in the hiring funnel, quantify outcomes, and scale what works. For organizations seeking to build a data-led, scalable talent function, expert partners can accelerate change. If you want to explore tailored solutions on a process-wide or project-by-project basis to convert 2026’s challenges into an advantage in the talent market, talk to the experts at Envision RPO.

Attracting Top Tech Talent in 2026: Strategies for Companies and Recruiters

November 25, 2025

The state of tech talent in 2026 reflects the pervasive and foundational role of artificial intelligence (AI), which is accelerating innovation across all industries. This movement is creating significantly higher demand for computing capacity, driving new challenges in infrastructure and scale. As a consequence, the need for tech talent is highly specialized — and growing.  On the other side of the fence, talent, in general, wants more than just compensation. For talent acquisition functions, flexibility, developmental pathways, and employee engagement will be instrumental in balancing the nuances of tech talent demands with what skilled workers actually value in 2026 and beyond. This article examines strategies for attracting and retaining tech talent in the evolving technological landscape.  The Gap Problem: What's Behind the Tech Skills Shortage? Three intersecting macro trends are driving the high demand for tech talent: accelerating technological evolution, demographic shifts limiting supply, and increasing geopolitical friction. Let's break them down: AI Skills Demand and Technological Change AI is a core catalyst of global business, requiring a widespread wave of upskilling and specialization. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), AI and big data make up the fastest-growing skills demands, followed closely by networks, cybersecurity, and technological literacy. This significant technical gap coexists with a need for human-centric aptitudes; Australian employers also expect 94% growth in creative thinking skills by 2030. Demographic Pressures Aging populations and declining working-age demographics have been transforming Japan's labor markets for a long time, placing severe pressure on talent supply. Regionally, countries like New Zealand also face declining immigration and increased emigration, further reducing labor availability. The WEF reports that 79% of impacted firms are leveraging automation to mitigate these shortages.  Geoeconomic Fragmentation Global competition, coupled with increasing trade restrictions, requires organizations to secure new strategic technologies — and the talent needed to deploy them. As a result, we're seeing an increased need for fresh, region-specific skill sets in areas such as cybersecurity and operations. While these challenges are reshaping the economic and tech landscape across industries, they're hitting organizations hardest in-house, where securing the right tech talent is becoming critical to business continuity. Below, we explore how to attract top tech talent in 2026 — and retain it — to secure the roles necessary for operating, governing, and scaling new technologies. How To Attract Top Tech Talent in 2026 As organizations navigate between technological acceleration and talent scarcity, the ability to attract and retain high-performing professionals is a competitive advantage as much as a survival mechanism. The next stage of talent attraction will require authenticity, adaptability, and precision. Employer Branding in the Age of Transparency Building an employer brand in 2026 requires companies to let go of performative marketing and enhance the credibility of their offerings. Deloitte reports that while 89% of executives believe their organization is advancing human sustainability in some way, only 41% of employees agree. The rise of tech networks and employer review platforms means companies should not only be thinking about products, but also how they build, test, and scale them — and who's getting a seat at the table. A credible employer brand must genuinely reflect technical integrity, meaningful innovation, and a visible commitment to employee growth. With less than half (43%) of workers saying their organizations have left them better off than when they began, employer branding should focus on demonstrating, rather than declaring, value. Flexibility and the Global Talent Exchange The geographical boundaries that once hindered tech hiring are falling aside as remote and hybrid work models reach higher demand. In fact, recruiters report that higher compensation and flexible work options are equally appealing to candidates. According to the WEF, nearly half of Australian businesses plan to offer cross-border remote work options, which is almost double the global average. Tech companies that leverage this talent strategy offer prospects not only greater flexibility but also recalibrate their own access to much-needed skills. However, in 2026, flexibility is no longer limited to location. Recruiters might also offer latitude in work hours, time off, dress codes, and compensation benefits to sweeten the deal. Those prepared to come to the table will create opportunities to expand recruitment beyond national borders while attracting tech professionals who thrive on collaboration. Development Pathways and Continuous Learning Career development has evolved from an employee benefit to a strategic initiative. With shorter tech cycles comes a need for deeper specialization, so employers should be thinking about programs that enable talent to evolve alongside innovation. This is particularly notable in a time when internal mobility and professional development create opportunities for diversified skills and retention.  Still, 44% of HR leaders believe their organizations do not offer compelling career paths. With development opportunities driving organizational resilience, structured learning pathways, mentorship, and exposure to emerging technologies are primary motivators for engagement and retention. Company Culture as an Innovation Driver The modern tech workforce values environments where experimentation is rewarded and failure is treated as data. In that sense, psychological safety holds the keys to unlocking creativity. Employees want to contribute to meaningful work without navigating office politics or rigid hierarchies. Flexible benefits like mental health programs and asynchronous work environments enable innovation. At the same time, they clearly value autonomy, transparency, and accountability. In 2026, companies that integrate empathy with execution create environments where skilled IT professionals feel both challenged and supported. Recruiting Through Communities and Events Many companies are turning to tech communities and events as a recruitment strategy to secure top talent. Hackathons, meet-ups, and industry forums provide direct access to engaged, skilled professionals, while also giving candidates a window into organizational culture and challenges.  Tapping into employee networks with referral incentives amplifies this reach, connecting businesses with aligned and trusted candidates. Building a successful talent pipeline through communities relies on combining human connections with meaningful engagement — showing up consistently, contributing value, and making organizational priorities and benefits visible where tech talent already gathers. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Initiatives DEI initiatives in 2026 will focus on capability and performance, rather than compliance. Backing that, McKinsey reports that gender and ethnically diverse teams financially outperform non-diverse ones by around 30%. Creating pathways for underrepresented talent — through education partnerships, apprenticeships, and return-to-work initiatives — helps close both the equity and the skill gap.  When employers embed inclusion into their recruitment architecture, they simultaneously expand their talent pool and enhance their organizational adaptability. But inclusion is moving well beyond fairness and non-discrimination. With five generations working side by side, businesses must develop communication styles, career pathways, and retention strategies to cater to age-diverse employees if they want to attract and retain the skills they need to thrive.  The convergence of these approaches reflects a wider truth: Attracting top tech talent in 2026 requires alignment between what the industry needs and what talent values. Organizations that combine technological advancement with human-centered design — in both their products and their workplaces — will be the ones that build, retain, and elevate the next generation of innovators. How Does RPO Impact Tech Talent Recruitment? Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a strategic partnership that embeds talent acquisition expertise directly into an organization's HR function. In an environment where specialized tech skills are scarce and competition for qualified candidates is growing, RPO provides a pathway for companies to attract, engage, and retain the talent they need.

How To Attract Top Talent in a Competitive Market

August 12, 2025

Nearly 50% of APAC organizations lean on a contingent workforce to address talent gaps — and it’s not just a temporary blip. The competition for skilled talent, particularly in high-demand sectors such as IT, engineering, and healthcare, remains steady. That makes attracting the right candidates a long game. Businesses that can’t fill critical roles risk idling innovation and projects, while burning out existing teams. Meanwhile, top talent — the kind that brings critical skills, adaptability, and long-term value — isn’t just looking for a job. These candidates know their worth, weighing growth potential and alignment with their goals. Talent acquisition strategies need to reflect this.  In this article, we’ll explore the top 10 proven strategies to attract top talent and how recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) provides access to dynamic resources, enabling organizations to build resilient, future-ready teams.  10 Proven Strategies To Attract Top Talent Recruiting skilled talent requires a focused, practical approach in 2025. While 63% of employers say it's harder to source great talent than it was last year, 70% of candidates say it's harder to find a job. These figures reflect a discord in talent-to-organization match-making.  Here are 10 strategies RPO experts use to help businesses transform talent acquisition into a sustainable, long-term game and secure high-quality talent in the market.  1. Build a Strong Employer Brand As far as talent is concerned, your reputation precedes you. Accordingly, employer branding refers to a company's reputation, value proposition, and experience — three factors potential candidates are already contemplating before they get a foot in the door.  In the same way that an organization evaluates an applicant's soft skills and culture fit, candidates also assess a brand's purpose, team cohesion, and employee experience to determine whether an employer aligns with their values. They're checking places like company career pages and online review sites to see how visibly a business supports DEIB, sustainability, and innovation.  Here's what you should be thinking about:  Reputation: Communicating values isn't enough. Organizations also need to demonstrate them in the market to build a positive reputation. Value proposition: The employer's value proposition outlines expectations for performance and behavior, as well as the rewards for meeting these expectations.  Employee experience: When employees understand and meet an employer's expectations (and are rewarded accordingly), they're more likely to view their experience as a positive one. RPO experts can help unify these elements across all touchpoints, ensuring a company's employer brand shows up consistently wherever talent is searching.  2. Optimize Job Descriptions The most obvious reason to write compelling job descriptions is to attract higher-quality applicants and reduce misunderstandings. Knock-on benefits include enhanced visibility, faster time to hire, and improving the applicant experience by setting clear expectations and providing accurate information. But there's more to the story.  Candidates tend to submit resumes that directly respond to a job description. Yet, only 48% of U.S. employers say resumes are an effective way to determine a candidate's capabilities. More than half (53%) of employers have eliminated degree requirements in job listings, while 85% are leaning into skills-based hiring — this may involve an assignment or skills test during the recruitment process to evaluate actual compatibility with a role.  In line with these broader talent acquisition trends, RPO partners support organizations in developing job descriptions that use inclusive, high-impact language, appealing to a more diverse talent pool. They embed employer branding in job postings to attract candidates who align with the company culture. More importantly, they help businesses evaluate and communicate the type of skills demonstration required upfront, increasing the quality of applicants from the beginning.  3. Offer Competitive Compensation and Benefits Compensation still matters most. In 2025, salary and bonuses rank as top decision-making factors for 87% of candidates, alongside healthcare (88%). Beyond the paycheck, candidates seek benefits that align with their lifestyle and work environment. This could mean:  A competitive salary that ticks up with inflation. Family-friendly policies. Location flexibility. Transparent pay bands. Mental health support. RPO teams provide insights into regional and global salary benchmarks across industries and roles. This data makes it possible to build strategic and competitive compensation packages that reflect the talent you need and the budgets you're working with. 4. Promote DEIB Diversity, equity, and inclusion have been making headlines in recruitment strategy for years — and it's widely agreed that they are effective ways to foster innovation and productivity. Around 60% of APAC organizations plan to increase DEI spending in the next two years. Even so, past efforts have failed to foster a sense of workplace ‘belonging,' resulting in continued low levels of employee engagement.  In the APAC region, the challenges of DEIB are complex. Organizations must account for unique regional contexts to cater to nuanced, culturally appropriate, country-specific DEIB needs. In short, what works in one place may not work in the next — further complicating inclusion initiatives among companies with global talent engagement.  For instance, in China, generational diversity is a major concern. In Singapore, the focus is on multiculturalism. Australia is struggling to close the gender pay gap, while Japan needs to increase female leadership to meet its targets. Well-versed in regional DEIB variations, RPO experts can help businesses determine how DEIB performs within their respective organizational frameworks and formulate a hiring strategy that responds to internal and regional gaps.  5. Improve the Candidate Experience From the first job ad to the final offer and beyond — including onboarding and continued support — every touchpoint contributes to candidate engagement. Speed and transparency are key to delivering a positive experience.  The global median time-to-hire is 38 days, and artificial intelligence (AI) makes recruiting processes 26% faster. The impact of this relationship on hiring outcomes is evident in Australia, with a median time-to-hire of 32 days and recruitment efficiency 78% above the global average (based on the number of hires per recruiter per month).  Beyond AI, RPO talent professionals bring an entire suite of recruitment tech to the table, helping organizations automate applicant analysis, tap into candidate feedback loops, and build a data-driven recruiting process.  6. Use Employee Referral Programs Employees are central to driving and maintaining organizational success. In 2025, referral programs remain a high-performing strategy, delivering turnaround 55% faster than job boards.  People trust people — and that goes two ways. When it comes to vouching for a company’s employee experience, its employees are the most reliable sources, carrying more weight than careers pages. On the other hand, trusted employees have access to deep pools of talent in their professional networks. They'll likely offer a more rounded view of a candidate they know personally than what you might derive from a resume or interview.  Despite the clear advantage, only 3% of Australian hires are sourced through referrals, which is less than half of the global average of 7%. Talent acquisition professionals can help formalize and scale these programs by implementing incentives, tracking, and follow-up to maintain a steady flow of high-quality referrals. 7. Leverage Social Media and Employer Review Platforms Social media is a strategic recruitment marketing asset that delivers dividends in talent acquisition. Talent leaders can review strategies to enhance employer branding, but also leverage qualitative data to learn about company culture, management effectiveness, and operational inefficiencies.  These reviews can also impact:  Candidate acceptance rates: A slew of positive online reviews may make the difference for a qualified candidate weighing multiple offers.  Enhanced employer brand: Review management signals transparency and commitment to employee well-being.  Higher employee retention: Review platforms provide a mechanism for soliciting and acting upon feedback from employees, making them feel valued and heard.  Recruitment tech can also track engagement, refine messaging based on performance, and directly link social activity to sourcing outcomes. 8. Engage Passive Candidates Not all quality candidates are actively seeking positions. Passive candidate numbers now make up 70% of the workforce. These professionals aren’t actively applying for jobs — but they’re open to change if the right opportunity presents itself. In 2025, attracting this group is essential to building a competitive talent pipeline. Passive candidates expect personalized communication, a clear value proposition, and roles that align with their goals. They want a reason to engage — and fast. A talent acquisition team brings structure and scalability to this process, using talent mapping, market insights, and long-term pipeline development to identify, engage, and convert passive candidates. This strategy reduces time-to-fill and improves the quality of hires. It also gives businesses access to skills that aren’t readily available through traditional sourcing. 9. Offer Flexible and Remote Work Options Flexible work models expand your talent pool. They're also becoming a baseline expectation in APAC, with 68% of companies employing 70% of their workforce as full-time remote workers. This not only opens the doors to global talent acquisition but also improves employee satisfaction.  However, designing and rolling out a flexible work strategy isn't straightforward. In the APAC region, remote and hybrid models present new challenges for employees. They include: Household member disruptions (62%). Feeling constantly connected to work (52%). Missing social contact and interactions (43%). Lack of physical activity (38%). Organizations need the muscle and strategy to support flexible arrangements, thereby curbing the loss of productivity and burnout. RPO providers help employers adapt and respond to challenges, as well as leverage flexible work arrangements. Operationalizing flexibility involves refining job design, incorporating location-neutral roles, and building remote-ready recruitment processes — from virtual recruitment to fostering a positive company culture digitally. 10. Invest in Learning and Development The best candidates want progression. They're asking what their career will look like beyond the first six months. Businesses need to be ready to answer questions about career growth — and deliver.  Those who invest in learning and development experience higher application and retention rates, as well as stronger internal mobility. Companies can differentiate themselves by designing programs that build both technical capabilities and the human skills needed to lead and adapt, including: Upskilling and technical development. Leadership programs. Clear progression paths. Soft skill development. RPO teams help employers integrate progression pathways into their recruitment processes. They position learning and development as a core part of the value proposition, and use internal data to match existing employees to future roles, creating a pipeline of talent ready for growth.
