A Decade of Supporting Talent Leaders in Their Hardest Work

Talent has transformed dramatically over the last 10 years. Through every shift, we’ve evolved alongside the leaders shaping the future’s workforce.

“The permeating feeling for us across the last 10 years is… going to be the same for the next 10 years and the 10 years after that, which is that we just feel hugely grateful to our members for trusting us to serve them in their hardest work and for trusting us to be their partners.”

Carter Bradley, CEO
Our Story

We are just getting started

What began with a simple belief—that Talent leaders deserved better intelligence to make better decisions—has grown into something much bigger. Ten years later, our work has expanded, the challenges facing recruiting have transformed, and the community we serve has grown. But the purpose behind it all remains remarkably unchanged.

The Talent Landscape Has Changed. So Have We.

2016

Introducing the University Recruiting Council

Veris Insights (FKA Ivy Research Council) established the University Recruiting Council to study the Early Careers landscape and give recruiting leaders the intelligence and peer insight they needed to navigate their hardest work.

2017

A National Footprint

As URC grew among Fortune 500 employers, we gathered 40 Early Careers leaders in Washington, D.C. for our first Annual Members Meeting, creating a community where leaders could learn not only from our research, but from one another.

2018

A More Complex Talent Landscape

As employers placed greater focus on reaching and engaging talent across backgrounds and identities, our research expanded to help members better understand the experiences, expectations, and decisions shaping increasingly diverse talent pools.

2019

Competition for Talent Intensifies

With historically low unemployment intensifying competition for talent, recruiting teams faced growing pressure to differentiate their employer brands and rethink how they attracted candidates. We helped members understand what talent wanted and where their strategies needed to evolve.

2020

The COVID Mobilization

When the pandemic disrupted recruiting almost overnight, we mobilized our research engine to give UR leaders near-daily intelligence as they shifted to virtual recruiting, redesigned programs, and made decisions in an environment with few precedents.

2021

Customized Service for Unique Member Challenges

As recruiting leaders navigated another rapidly changing talent market, we expanded our core research to begin serving Heads of Talent Acquisition and launched Custom Insights for our URC members, giving them intelligence tailored to the specific decisions facing their programs.

2022

Becoming Veris Insights

Ivy Research Council became Veris Insights, reflecting what our work had grown to encompass: an insights and analytics firm dedicated to helping recruiting leaders make better decisions in an increasingly complex talent landscape.

2023

From Growth to Reset

As the hiring boom gave way to economic uncertainty, layoffs, and tighter budgets, recruiting leaders were asked to do more with less. Our research helped members benchmark against a rapidly shifting market and make more informed decisions about where to focus a growing number of constrained resources.

2024

The Power of Peer Intelligence

With efficiency, workforce planning, and organizational transformation reshaping Talent Acquisition at large, we launched the Recruiting Leadership Council, giving senior-most TA leaders unprecedented access to peer intelligence within and beyond their industries.

2025

The Future of the Workforce

An application avalanche, changing workforce needs, and the rapid adoption of AI fundamentally altered the recruiting landscape. We helped members reset long-held assumptions and build strategies around the realities of a dramatically different market.

2026

The New Architecture of Recruiting in the Age of AI

As AI transforms the work of recruiters and the skills employers need, we’re helping TA and UR leaders redesign how they identify talent, structure their teams, evaluate quality, and build the recruiting functions their organizations need now and into the future.

2027+

The Integrated Talent Lifecycle

As organizations rethink how talent is attracted, developed, mobilized, and retained, the boundaries between recruiting and talent management are giving way to a more integrated approach. Veris Insights is expanding to serve Heads of Talent and Talent Management—connecting the leaders responsible for bringing talent into an organization with those who nurture it throughout the employee lifecycle, and equipping them with the intelligence and peer insight they need to shape the future of talent.

A Decade in Perspective

What 10 Years of Recruiting Research Taught Us

Ten years of research has given us a front-row seat to a recruiting landscape in constant motion. Through changing talent markets, new technologies, economic uncertainty, and evolving expectations, one lesson has remained constant: recruiting leaders need more than information. They need the right intelligence to make confident decisions when the stakes are highest.

CEO Carter Bradley reflects on what a decade of serving recruiting leaders has taught us and why, from where we’re standing, we’re still early.

Looking ahead

Preparing for the Next Decade

Ten years of change have reshaped Early Careers and the next era is already taking shape.

At our 10th Annual Members Meeting, Dr. Chelsea Schein will look back at the defining shifts that transformed Early Careers over the past decade and turn that intelligence toward what’s ahead. A Decade of Intelligence, A Roadmap for 2027 will distill the research, market signals, and emerging trends leaders need to set their priorities and build future-ready strategies in 2027.

“In Talent Acquisition, 10 years can feel like 10 different industries, but [AMM] is the one event that has consistently helped me stay ahead of what’s next. The recruiting landscape has changed dramatically over the last decade, but the value of learning from peers hasn’t.”
