Hiring in 2026 will look very different from what it did just a few years ago. Budgets are tighter, teams are leaner, and the cost of a bad hire feels higher than ever. At the same time, technology is evolving quickly, and many business owners are left wondering what actually matters and what’s just noise.

Carmen Bryant, VP of Marketing at Wizehire, and Sid Upadhyay, CEO and Co-founder of Wizehire, do a practical breakdown on what’s changing in the hiring landscape and how businesses can hire with confidence in a “do more with less” environment.

This conversation draws on real-world insights from thousands of businesses, including lessons from Wizehire Works, our annual reflection on how hiring has changed and how we’ve evolved to meet the shift. They discuss what business owners are experiencing today and what it means for 2026.

You’ll learn:

• What’s really changing in hiring, and what’s not, as we head into 2026
• Why “doing more with less” requires a smarter hiring approach, not longer hours
• Why “doing more with less” requires a smarter hiring approach, not longer hours

Learn how AI and automation can reduce noise and support more confident hiring decisions.

This session is designed for business owners, operators, and leaders who want to hire more confidently, avoid costly mistakes, and build a hiring process that works as hard as they do.

“A bad hire costs a lot of money. It costs about 30% of a year’s salary. You’ll feel the impact very acutely. Getting it wrong could impact your organization significantly.”

– Carmen Bryant, VP of Marketing, Wizehire
