#### **Smart Trends Moving Talent and Business Forward**

In this Everest Group report supported by Sevenstep, we explore three ways companies are adopting their talent practices. Based on a survey of 150+ HR and procurement leaders, the findings explore critical issues and perspectives shaping our industry:

- **Adapting Agile and Flexible RPO Solutions:** Exploring short-term or project-based recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) and recruiter-on-demand (staff augmentation) capabilities
- **Automating Recruitment Processes:** Leveraging AI to empower TA for large-scale or rapidly fluctuating workforce needs (low-touch, tech-enabled hiring)
- **Diversifying Talent Channels:** Addressing contingent labor and keys to access all worker types through a total talent approach
