Everyone is talking about being locked in a brutal AI hiring war. Headlines reinforce the idea that success depends on winning a narrow race for elite machine learning engineers or data scientists. In reality, many organizations are solving the wrong problem. The real issue isn’t a lack of access to external AI talent; it’s a lack of visibility into the skills they already have. This misconception is quietly derailing enterprise AI strategies. Leaders assume that hiring a handful of “AI experts” will unlock transformation.

Cadient’s analysis found that weak career pages, applicant tracking systems (ATS), and application experiences create friction that may prevent qualified candidates from being hired. A new Cadient analysis of 1,386 employers found that many companies are trying to hire at scale using hiring infrastructure too weak to support it.

Each employer was evaluated against a standardized framework covering five areas of the hiring journey: Career Page, Applicant Tracking System (ATS), Hiring Volume, Employer Brand, and Application Flow. The analysis drew on more than 1,500 hir...
