CV Library Hiring Trends For 2026 And How GRW Scout’s AI Tooling Answers These
GRW Scout Welcomes You to 2026
I think we’re all glad to have ridden the unpredictable wave that was the 2025 economy. For us at GRW Group, it marked the launch of both GRW Talent and our new Agentic AI talent acquisition and management tool GRW Scout. Interesting times to restart a recruitment business and push boundaries into AI-powered talent acquisition and management – but fortune favours the brave!
I was pleased to read CV Library’s hiring predictions for 2026, which strongly resonate with what we’re seeing across the market. Key takeaways include:
- A two-speed jobs market, with hiring reductions beginning to plateau
• AI-assisted recruitment becoming the norm
• Candidates starting to opt out of overly AI-heavy processes
• Office location and hybrid working becoming central to the EVP
• Behavioural data defining successful hiring
• Skills-first hiring taking priority
• Greater salary transparency
These trends make for encouraging reading in GRW Scout’s world.
As we move towards a general market release of our agentic AI platform in the coming weeks, I’m confident that what we’re building directly meets these shifting demands:
1️⃣ Our AI tooling is simple, intuitive, and designed for rapid adoption by both clients and candidates.
2️⃣ Scout augments recruiters and hiring managers rather than replacing the human value of emotional intelligence at screening, interview, and offer stages.
3️⃣ Scout applicants go beyond the CV, showcasing their full DNA to enable deeper, more informed hiring decisions.
4️⃣ Our AI smart-matching brings science to decision-making, supporting instinct with data.
5️⃣ Candidates can actively showcase their skills, which are matched directly to roles and client profiles.
6️⃣ Real-time data signalling delivers up-to-date salary insights, increasing transparency and confidence.
