Measuring TA Productivity in 2026 - Hires, Hours, or Tokens? (What Are the Execs Doing?)
Measuring TA Productivity in 2026 - Hires, Hours, or Tokens?
What Talent Executives Are Doing About It
🥂 An invite-only leadership dinner for 20 senior talent and people leaders in Berlin
Ashby sponsors this evening and it is free to attend.
Their EMEA hiring report covers more than 180,000 jobs between 2021 and mid 2026, and it shows applications per hire doubling, recruiters interviewing more candidates to make each hire, and time to hire never leaving the 37 to 43 day range. Every measure most of us report on came back flat while the work underneath it doubled.
This is a dinner for the people who set and defend talent targets.
So…What counts as talent acquisition productivity in 2026? Hires per recruiter, hours saved, cost per hire, or is it based on how many tokens one used?
You will compare what your executive team asks for against what your team spends its week on, what AI has taken off the desk, and what any of us would put on a dashboard for 2027.
Two roundtable discussions.
An exceptional private dinner and experience 🤩
This is an invite-only event.
We keep the listing live for visibility, so we understand it can create confusion. Unfortunately we are not able to approve all participation this time.
If you're leading a talent or people function at a scaling or enterprise organisation in Berlin and would like to be considered for a future experience, we'd love to hear from you at info@talent-crunch.com
We wish we could have everyone in the room, and we're steadily working towards that.
🎤 Recording
During the roundtable discussions, we'd like to record the conversations to create anonymous content for the wider talent community. No names, companies, or identifying details are included in anything we publish. We'll confirm this with the room before recording begins.
