SAN FRANCISCO, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SmartRecruiters today announced that it has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Talent Acquisition Suites. The company believes this placement reflects its ongoing commitment to delivering enterprise-ready, AI-powered hiring solutions. As organizations look to modernize their hiring infrastructure, SmartRecruiters continues to support this evolution through its AI-native platform built for both enterprise and high-volume hiring needs.
“In our opinion, AI hiring is not merely an HR function—it’s a business-wide priority,” said Rebecca Carr, CEO of SmartRecruiters. “When hiring decisions are slowed by outdated tools or fragmented processes, the entire organization feels it. We aim to provide a platform that accelerates intelligent hiring and empowers business leaders, recruiters, and hiring managers alike.”
Why This Recognition Matters to Us
We believe being named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant is more than just a recognition—it reflects our vision to support hiring success for organizations with complex, dynamic talent needs. According to Gartner, vendors in the Leaders quadrant “have a strong capability set and strategic investment vision that addresses complex, multinational hiring needs.”
Gartner evaluates companies based on two key dimensions:
- Completeness of Vision – Gartner analysts evaluate providers on their ability to convincingly articulate logical statements. This includes current and future market direction, innovation, customer needs, and competitive forces, as well as how well they map to Gartner’s view of the market.
- Ability to Execute – Gartner analysts evaluate providers on the quality and efficacy of the processes, systems, methods or procedures that enable IT provider performance to be competitive, efficient and effective, and to positively impact revenue and retention in Gartner’s view of the market.
