Why CXR Research is different

The questions come from the field, and so do the answers.

  • Timely topics

    Research agendas come from what TA leaders across the CXR community are facing now, and where they see the work heading next.

  • Vetted professionals

    Panels draw on practitioners from the front line of talent acquisition, alongside solution providers who bring a technology perspective.

  • In-depth publications

    Each report pulls together the panel’s discussion, community polls and practical recommendations you can use in strategy and planning.

How a study works

From first question to published report.

  1. 01

    A topic is chosen

    CXR picks one problem that is coming up across the community and is worth working through in depth.

  2. 02

    A panel comes together

    Senior practitioners, joined by solution providers where they add perspective, sign on to work through it.

  3. 03

    Facilitated discussion and polls

    Over several weeks, panelists compare what is happening inside their organizations while the wider community weighs in through polls.

  4. 04

    A report, free to download

    The findings, quotes and poll data are published as a CXR Research report anyone in talent acquisition can use.
