Fosway Group publishes ‘AI Market Assessment for Talent Acquisition ’ paper and announces strategic research programme on AI in HR, talent and learning
AI is now the biggest story in all the HR, talent and learning segments, with rapid growth in corporate interest and virtually every vendor having an AI-led roadmap. The market noise about AI is immense, but the story beneath that is opaque and uncertain; never has there been a greater need to provide an honest detailed market analysis of what is real and what is hype, as well as who is succeeding – and how. Crucially, the research programme ties together both corporate and vendor experiences, offering equal footing and deep insights on both sides, and resulting in a series of unique public and private deliverables from Fosway.
The first part of the research to be published is the AI Market Assessment for Talent Acquisition (TA). This research conducted over the last six months, includes detailed assessment of the AI features in development by the leading vendors in the TA market, analysing what is live with customers and what is near- or long-term roadmap only. It also provides a unique AI feature segmentation, identifying whether features are mainstream, next wave, edge advantage or niche play. And shows an anonymised assessment of how the different vendors are delivering on their AI roadmaps and coverage of the Fosway TA functional model.
In a noisy marketplace, this unmissable piece of deep research from Europe’s #1 HR industry analyst promises to “provide European talent acquisition teams with the clarity they need to make confident, informed decisions about AI in 2025 and beyond,” according to Head of Analyst Services and Lead Analyst for Talent Acquisition at Fosway Group, Dr. Sven Elbert.
Also to come in the next few weeks are two AI Market Assessment papers for Learning Systems and Digital learning, both offering a similarly unique view of vendor AI roadmaps in those segments. An accompanying AI in Learning insights paper will also be published alongside these, exploring the latest corporate insights and trends on AI intent and adoption, as well as priorities for AI and impact on budgets and learning teams. Further research outputs will follow later in the year for Cloud HR and Talent & People Success too.
“AI is the dominant story in business in 2025 and looks set to be so for the foreseeable future. But consequently, the level of AI noise and hype in the market is also unparalleled”, said David Wilson, CEO and Founder of Fosway Group. “Our goal is to cut through the market noise, exposing what corporates and vendors are really doing with AI in HR, and to provide HR, talent and learning leaders with objective research, actionable insights and targeted advice to ensure their success with AI.”

Note: This is the start of the deliverables from a multi-phase, open-ended research programme that offers multiple engagement points for HR, learning and talent teams and vendors to understand the value of getting and staying ahead of the technology and make better decisions on their supply options and how AI impacts their business.
