HR Research Institute Forms Advisory Board for Landmark Recruitment Technology Study

The HR Research Institute has established a new Advisory Board consisting of eleven distinguished professionals from prominent organizations to conduct a significant research study on recruitment technology trends. This board includes experts from companies such as McKesson, Genetech, McAfee, GRAIL, and PwC, representing diverse industries and extensive expertise in talent acquisition. These thought leaders will guide both the research initiative and an accompanying virtual event focused on understanding the current landscape and future direction of recruitment technologies.

The comprehensive study will examine critical aspects of recruitment technology, including how organizations currently utilize technological tools, measure user satisfaction levels, and assess the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on talent acquisition processes. Key board members include Brian Fink from McAfee, Chris Murdock, Chief Sourcing Officer at IQTalent, and Jason Vogel, Senior Manager and Executive Recruiter at PwC. According to Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, the advisory board will provide essential insights into the evolving hiring technology ecosystem.

The research aims to deliver HR professionals a practical roadmap for optimizing recruitment strategies through innovative technological solutions. The accompanying virtual event, scheduled for October 1, 2025, will offer attendees an opportunity to gain in-depth understanding of emerging recruitment technology trends. Participants can explore the Future of Recruitment Technologies 2025 Virtual Event to learn more about the latest developments in talent acquisition technologies. This initiative builds upon the HR Research Institute's previous work, including the recently published report on Future of AI and Recruitment Technologies 2024-25.

The institute is recognized for producing comprehensive, industry-focused research that helps HR professionals make informed strategic decisions. The formation of this advisory board represents a significant step toward understanding how technology is reshaping recruitment practices across various sectors. The diverse expertise represented on the board ensures that the research will capture multiple perspectives on technology adoption, implementation challenges, and future opportunities in talent acquisition.

The timing of this research is particularly relevant as organizations increasingly rely on technology to streamline hiring processes and address talent shortages. The focus on artificial intelligence reflects the growing importance of AI-driven solutions in modern recruitment strategies. By examining current technology usage patterns and satisfaction levels, the study will identify gaps and opportunities for improvement in recruitment technology implementation.

The virtual event component ensures that the research findings will be accessible to HR professionals worldwide, facilitating knowledge sharing and best practice dissemination across the industry. This comprehensive approach combining research with educational outreach demonstrates the institute's commitment to advancing the field of human resources through evidence-based insights and practical guidance.
