Hey there,

Every company says “people are our greatest asset.” But the people who find those people — recruiters, hiring managers, and TA leaders — are often the unsung heroes behind the headlines.

In today’s market, Talent Acquisition (TA) isn’t just about filling roles anymore. It’s about -

  • 🚀 Business growth — hiring the right talent faster means teams can execute faster.

  • 💡 Innovation — every great product or idea starts with a great hire.

  • 🌍 Culture and diversity — TA decides whose voices are brought into the room.

  • ❤️ Brand reputation — candidates remember how you made them feel in the process.

In a world where skills evolve fast and competition for talent is fierce, TA is no longer just an HR function — it’s a strategic advantage.

This isn’t just a story about one company.

It’s proof that TA leaders aren’t just filling roles—they’re shaping business outcomes. With AI, recruiters become catalysts of growth, speed, and innovation.

➡️Recognizing the Best — The AI-Forward TA Index

To spotlight the people redefining what’s possible in hiring, we’re launching the TSOW AI-Forward TA Index, powered by Goodfit.

It’s a living list of the top 100 Talent Acquisition professionals and their best AI-powered practices, released every quarter.

  2. Complete a quick AI interview about how you use AI in your recruiting process.

You’ll not only be part of a movement recognizing the best in TA — you’ll also get to experience Goodfit’s AI process, designed to make hiring smarter and more human.

➡️How to Register

Joining is simple. No long forms, no endless documentation.

🧠 Complete a Goodfit AI interview → A structured, conversational interview designed to surface your AI practices.
