Appcast, a leading recruitment marketing platform, will host a live webinar entitled “Hiring in 2026 – What Talent Acquisition Leaders Need to Know about AI and the Economy.” The event, scheduled for October 21, 2025, from 2 – 3 p.m. ET, will feature insights from Andrew Flowers, Chief Economist at Appcast. This session aims to provide talent acquisition professionals with crucial data on how artificial intelligence (AI) and macroeconomic trends are shaping the recruitment landscape.
During the webinar, participants will receive comprehensive insights on several pressing topics. Flowers will discuss the influence of AI on the labor market, addressing the ongoing competition for specialized skills and the rising automation of traditional white-collar roles. He will also examine how upcoming tariff and immigration policies may affect inflation and wage dynamics in 2026.
Understanding Economic Indicators and Trends
Another key area of focus will be the resilience of the U.S. and global economies in the face of policy uncertainty. Flowers will provide an analysis of whether these economies can avoid a recession in the upcoming year. Additionally, he will clarify recent job data revisions and evaluate the reliability of the Bureau of Labor Statistics as a resource for recruiters and analysts.
