Talent Acquisition Trends & Realities

The 2022 Fosway 9-Grid™ is largely based on a variety of shifting factors and current trends in the TA industry.

The solutions (like Adway's) that are expected to drive the Talent Acquisition market into the future were designed with these complex dynamics in mind:

• TA Strategy: Due to the pandemic, 92% of European corporations had to adjust their TA strategy, and most have made lasting changes.
  
  
• Talent Attraction & Engagement: More than 77% of European corporations are expecting to increase their investment in talent attraction and engagement in 2022.
  
  
• Quality of Hire: Quality of hire is at the top of these organisations’ priority lists to ensure their people investment is effective and sustainable.
  
  
• Talent Intelligence: Talent Intelligence has moved to centre stage.
  
  
• Recruitment Marketing & Programmatic Advertising: There is a significant opportunity for companies to leverage recruitment marketing, programmatic advertising and CRM.
  
  
• Automation: By increasing automation, organisations can free up recruiter time, which is still the most effective weapon for truly engaging with candidates.
  
  
• Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I): Nearly 60% of European TA teams want to use DE&I more when attracting talent. But, to be effective, DE&I practices must be embedded in all steps of the recruiting funnel.

How Adway Meets Fosway’s 5 Critical Factors

The Fosway 9-Grid™ is the only market analysis model that’s used to understand the relative position of solutions and providers in the Talent Systems market.

It’s based on five critical factors, and we’ll show you how Adway was selected for each one.

1. Potential

This factor of the 9-Grid™ distinguishes the solution’s scope and sophistication.

Adway is a Mid-Potential Solution, meaning our solutions are broadly reaching, highly sophisticated and rich enough to meet the majority of the needs of our enterprise clients.

2. Performance

This 9-Grid™ factor comprises Market Performance (how often a vendor gets short-listed, wins and/ or grows faster than the market) and Customer Performance (how well a vendor delivers, how deeply their customers extract value from their solutions, and how much customer advocacy does the solution provide).

Adway is a Higher-Performance Solution, meaning we frequently win competitive tenders from enterprise corporate customers. We achieve higher levels of customer impact and advocacy when compared to similar solutions in the market. And we consistently make positive impacts for our customers through the speed of implementation, business return, service quality and recurring customer value.

3. Presence

This critical factor is about the size of a vendor’s customer base and their presence in the overall market.

Adway is seen as a Lower-Presence based on our newness in the market and niche as a Specialist in Social Recruiting. Although we’re a relatively fresh face in our space, we’re positioned toward strong future performance and growth with a proven track record of success since 2018.

4. Total Cost of Ownership

This factor represents the full cost of acquiring, implementing and operating the solution (typically over a 3 year period).

Adway has a Mid-Cost of ownership for both internal and external costs.

5. Future Trajectory

This factor encompasses the positioning of the vendor based on the current market’s trends as they relate to the vendor’s Performance and Potential.

Adway is trending to further increase our customer advocacy and recognition in the market, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon, as the secret ingredient to success — Social Recruiting — starts to skyrocket across the TA industry! The Fosway Group expects that, in the future, we will be short-listed even more frequently and able to deliver better and better solutions to our clients around the world.

To recap, that’s:

Potential → Mid-Potential Solution

Performance → Higher-Performance Solution

Presence → Lower-Presence Solution

Total Cost of Ownership → Mid-Cost Solution

Future Trajectory → Increased Recognition & Customer Advocacy based on the trending success of Social Recruiting
