Beyond Compensation: What Year-End Planning Means for Recruiting in 2027

Today’s talent acquisition leaders are navigating a compensation landscape that directly affects recruiting – from the offer ranges they have to work within and growing pay expectations to conversations with candidates about posted salary ranges.

In this panel-style webinar, Marsh experts will unpack the trends that matter most as you head into year-end planning and what they mean for recruiting teams. Using fresh, high-level economic and labor indicators, key findings from our Compensation Planning Survey, and high-level insights from the Mercer Benchmark Data (MBD), the panel will connect the dots between what organizations are seeing internally and what the broader market is signaling. We’ll share end-of-year best practices for budgeting, pay adjustments, communications, and governance, and we’ll highlight where responsible AI can streamline analysis, improve consistency, and surface insights—without losing human judgment.

Attendees will learn:

• What current economic and labor market trends could mean for recruiting, compensation decisions, and candidate expectations in 2027.
• What the latest Compensation Planning Survey results reveal about how organizations are approaching compensation planning.
• How TA teams can use compensation and market insights to support more informed hiring decisions.
• Practical considerations TA teams can put into action as they prepare for 2027
