FUTURE TALENT ALIGNMENT

Workforce Planning

Talent demand is changing faster than most recruiting plans can keep up. Too often teams are reacting to hiring needs instead of shaping them. Veris Insights helps recruiting leaders connect hiring plans to business strategy with data on talent supply, demand projections, and risk factors so decisions about workforce planning can be made earlier and with confidence.

VOLUME MANAGEMENT

Application Avalanche

Application volume continues to rise, overwhelming recruiting teams and slowing decision-making. Identical applications, AI-generated resumes, and candidate fraud have created more noise and weaker signal. We help leaders understand what is driving the surge and how top teams are redesigning screening and workflows to improve efficiency and identify the strongest talent pools.
