Cluen has launched its 2026 survey on top trends in executive search technology, inviting recruiters and talent leaders to provide insights into the tools and innovations shaping the industry. Participants will gain early access to the report and a chance to win Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. With over 30 years of collaboration with leading firms, Cluen seeks to understand how technology like AI and automation is being balanced with the relationship-driven nature of executive search. The survey explores technology priorities, the impact of emerging technologies, and the evolution of client expectations in the face of predictive analytics and advanced research tools. Cluen aims to identify what distinguishes successful technology integration from less effective attempts and to pinpoint future opportunities for innovation. As technology becomes integral to executive search, firms must adapt to enhance productivity, client relationships, and competitiveness. Cluen’s white paper, released annually, will offer a data-driven analysis of these trends, helping firms prepare for the future. Participants will also receive a unique code to enter a raffle for Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. Last year’s findings highlighted a significant increase in AI adoption, with tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot becoming essential in the search process. Cluen’s platform, Encore, integrates AI to streamline operations and enhance candidate insights. The survey identifies key AI applications such as candidate write-ups and business development research, emphasizing a shift from experimentation to daily integration.
