2010s - Onboarding/Workflow/Integrated Sourcing 35
Onboarding, workflow, and sourcing platforms connected CRM, referrals, scheduling, and process automation around the hiring team.
2020s - Intelligent Assessment, Diversity, Career 39
Intelligent assessment, diversity, and career products use machine learning for matching, skills, fairness, and internal mobility.
2024+ - Agentic AI Platforms 139
Agentic AI platforms plan and carry out multi-step talent work, such as sourcing, engagement, and orchestration, with limited human intervention.
