Report<\/a>, speed and responsiveness are critical for talent engagement. Recruiters believe the biggest impact of AI on the talent experience is moving them through the process more quickly. This aligns nicely with the finding that faster placement, even faster than last year, correlates with revenue growth. The second biggest benefit is that candidates get a response every time they apply \u2014 and this is exactly what candidates said they most valued about AI.<\/p>\n","block_background":"block-bg-none","block_background_video_type":"url","block_background_video_url":"","block_background_video_file":false,"block_background_image":false,"block_background_overlay":false,"unique_id":"","block_option_custom_class":"","block_animate":false,"block_option_padding":["block-options-padding-remove-top"],"block_option_hide":[]},{"acf_fc_layout":"testimonials","background_shape":"","background_shape_position":"left","parallax_fx":false,"transition_speed":"10","enable_autoplay":false,"autoplay_speed":3000,"testimonials":[80615],"block_background":"block-bg-none","block_background_video_type":"url","block_background_video_url":"","block_background_video_file":false,"block_background_image":false,"block_background_overlay":false,"unique_id":"","block_option_custom_class":"","block_option_padding":[],"block_option_hide":[]},{"acf_fc_layout":"columns","block_title":"","block_aria":"Business strategy and economic outlook section: 45 percent of firms expect economic improvement in 2026 with focus on creating own growth","block_subtitle":"","format":"","enable_box_shadow":false,"columns":[{"type":"wysiwyg","wysiwyg":"<h2>Overall business strategy and economic outlook<\/h2>\n<p>61% of agencies expect the economy to improve in 2026 (compared to 73% last year), so optimism has dampened, and many expect it to stay the same (32%).

However, everyone we spoke with was optimistic about their own place in the recruitment ecosystem because they were focused on creating their own tailwinds regardless of prevailing market conditions.
