Agentic AI: 70% of TA Leaders See It as Core to Hiring

New research shows that nearly 70% of talent acquisition leaders expect agentic AI to become central to hiring within the next year. This comes from findings released by Fusemachines, an AI technology company. The company's inaugural Agentic AI Forum for Talent Acquisition gathered senior enterprise hiring leaders. Participants discussed how agentic AI will likely shape recruiting operations and candidate experience. What's interesting is that these organizations are moving beyond early AI experiments. They are now preparing for wider adoption of agentic AI across recruiting workflows. The research also found that decisions about AI adoption are becoming increasingly cross-functional. Only 14% of organizations say talent acquisition teams make AI decisions alone. This suggests that legal, compliance, IT, security, and business operations teams are becoming key stakeholders. The bottom line is that agentic AI is quickly moving from experimentation to practical, responsible systems in enterprise hiring.
