💥 Det är dags att återigen ta tempen på TA- och rekryteringsbranschen — årets undersökning är live! 📊

Rekrytering förändras snabbt och i år vill vi bland annat förstå hur AI påverkar arbetssätt och beslut i vardagen, vilka KPI:er som faktiskt följs, vilka utmaningar som väger tyngst just nu och hur TA-team prioriterar framåt.

Resultatet sammanställs i en öppen branschrapport, byggd på svar från er som lever rekrytering varje dag. Ju fler som svarar, desto skarpare bild.🎯

Så, hur mår TA-Sverige 2026? 👋

What a night at Sentralen in Oslo last week ✨

Huge thanks to everyone who joined our launch event for background checks in the Norwegian market! Great turnout, great energy, and lots of valuable conversations.

We talked about how background checks can help reduce risk and build trust in recruitment — and for us, it’s all about making it simple to verify information in a secure and efficient way.

This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to keep building this together with you. 🚀

👋 Hur tillförlitlig är din kandidatdata – egentligen? I rekrytering fattar du några av dina viktigaste affärsbeslut. Ändå bygger de ofta på samma perspektiv: kandidatens eget.

Hur får du in ett oberoende tredjepartsperspektiv som faktiskt validerar din kandidatbild? Men utan att kompromissa med tillit, respekt eller kandidatupplevelse 🧡

I del 1 av vår webinarserie med Refapps R&D-team visar Emira Blomberg (CSO) och David Näsström (Co-founder) hur du arbetar med smart verifiering 💡

✔️ Vilken data du ska samla in – och från vem
✔️ Skillnaden mellan självrapporterad och verifierad data
✔️ Hur du minimerar bias och höjer datakvaliteten
✔️ Hur du går från rådata till insikt och bättre beslut

🗓️ 12 maj | ⏱️ 10:00–10:45 | 💻 Online

Earlier this week we hosted a conversation-focused morning event in Stockholm together with our friends at HI Assessments, with great discussions and a fantastic breakfast to match ✨ 🥐 ☕

We explored risk in recruitment, data-driven decision making, and how to verify candidate information without losing the human touch.

Thank you to everyone who joined and shared such thoughtful perspectives around the table 🧡

The way references respond has changed. Here's what the data shows. 📊

- 35% of references respond outside business hours. 🌙
- 55% now access reference requests via SMS, not email. 💬
- The median response time? Just 8 hours. ⏱

We analyzed a full year of real data from the Refapp platform – and the way references actually behave might surprise you.

Understanding these patterns can help hiring teams make reference checking easier for references, faster for recruiters, and smoother for candidates.

This is Part 1 of The Reference Checking Trends Report – insights from hundreds of thousands of real reference checks 👇

New data from Refapp shows how reference checking is changing. Learn how mobile, SMS and after-hours responses can help hiring teams move faster.

Enjoy the holidays and see you in 2026, ready for more 👋

What a week! ✨

Last week we teamed up with for two full-house events in Gothenburg and Stockholm, exploring key insights from our latest TA trend report and what recruitment could look like in 2026 and beyond.
