Hey there,

A few years ago, Mastercard’s Talent Discovery team faced a familiar challenge: hiring at scale without losing the human touch. Under the leadership of Matthias Leitzmann, VP of Talent Acquisition, the team leaned into AI—and the results were transformative.

Interview scheduling times dropped from days to just three hours. Candidate engagement on their career site doubled, with visitors spending more time exploring opportunities. Even more impressive, Mastercard’s talent community expanded by 500%, giving the company a stronger pipeline for the future.

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.

➡️Why It Matters

AI is rapidly transforming recruiting, yet the industry still lacks trusted, proven examples of how it delivers real value. The TSOW AI-Forward TA Index is here to change that.

It will:

• Provide visibility and recognition to TA professionals leading the way.

• Offer the community practical playbooks of what’s working with AI in hiring.

• Deliver tangible rewards to celebrate achievements.

• Build a culture of peer-to-peer learning and inspiration in TA.
  

This isn’t just a list—it’s a movement to elevate TA as the strategic driver it truly is.
