Nebula is proud to attend SIA Executive Forum North America 2026 as a Platinum Sponsor. The conference takes place March 23-26 at the JW Marriott Austin in Austin, Texas, and brings together the most influential leaders in staffing and enterprise talent acquisition for four days of sessions, conversations, and decisions that shape the direction of the industry.
For Nebula, SIA Executive Forum 2026 is the right room at the right time. Recruiting technology, fragmented stacks, and what it actually takes to hire better in 2026 is the conversation happening in Austin this March, and it is exactly what Nebula was built for.
Why SIA Executive Forum Is the Right Room
SIA Executive Forum North America is the annual conference hosted by Staffing Industry Analysts, the global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions. It is the premier gathering for staffing CEOs, firm owners, and senior executives; the people responsible for the technology decisions, operational strategy, and talent infrastructure of some of the largest staffing and workforce solutions organizations in the world. This is not a general HR tech conference. It is the specific room where the industry sets its direction.
The 2026 edition of SIA Executive Forum brings together over 100 speakers across concurrent sessions covering everything from workforce technology trends to the future of enterprise talent acquisition. Attendees include C-suite executives, firm owners, and senior leaders from across the staffing and recruiting industry, all in one place for four days of peer-to-peer conversation and decision-making that does not happen anywhere else.
Nebula is attending as a Platinum Sponsor because this is where our customers are, and where the most important conversations in recruiting technology are happening right now. The executives in Austin this March are the ones evaluating their tech stacks, rethinking their workflows, and deciding what a modern AI recruiting platform needs to look like for their organizations. We want to be part of that conversation directly.
What Staffing Leaders Are Talking About at SIA This Year
One of the defining conversations at SIA Executive Forum every year is technology; specifically, how staffing and enterprise organizations are thinking about their recruiting tech stack and whether it is actually working. In 2026, that conversation has a sharper edge than usual. Most recruiting teams are managing five or more disconnected tools, spending between $21,000 and $125,000 annually in subscriptions, and still taking 84 or more days to fill a vacancy. Only 1 in 10 applicants ends up being qualified for the role.
The leaders gathering in Austin are not unaware of this problem. They are living it. Recruiters losing three hours a day to database management and two full days a week coordinating calendars is not an abstract data point to a staffing firm CEO, it is a direct hit to productivity and margin. The conversation at SIA this year is about what the next generation of recruiting technology actually looks like, and whether the platforms being built today are solving the right problems. That is the conversation Nebula is showing up to have.
What a Modern AI Recruiting Platform Actually Does
Nebula is an AI recruiting platform built for enterprise and staffing organizations that replaces the fragmented multi-tool stack with a single intelligent workspace. It is the platform we will be walking attendees through at SIA Executive Forum 2026; built specifically to solve the technology fragmentation problem that staffing leaders know better than anyone.
Nebula replaces the tools most recruiting teams are already paying for: LinkedIn Recruiter to source, ZoomInfo or Apollo to get contact information, Indeed or CareerBuilder to post jobs, Gem or a similar tool to manage outreach sequences, and a separate ATS to track pipeline. That's five invoices, five logins, five datasets that don't talk to each other, and a recruiter manually bridging the gaps between all of them. Nebula replaces that entire stack. One platform handles sourcing across public and private talent pools,nearly unlimited contacts, AI candidate matching with a patented bias-elimination process, automated outreach via email and SMS, and full pipeline management with CRM functionality and funnel analytics built in.
The result is enterprise recruiting software that replaces five or more disconnected subscriptions with one AI-powered ATS and workflow platform, purpose-built for organizations that need to hire at scale without adding operational complexity.
The Results Staffing and Enterprise Teams Are Seeing
The performance data behind Nebula is specific and independently verified. Here is what organizations using the platform are seeing:
- 20x more qualified candidates identified compared to advanced boolean search, in independent testing completed by a Fortune 100 technology company
- 12x improvement in recruiter productivity in the same independent test, compared to experienced in-house recruiters using advanced boolean search
- 8 in 10 candidates surfaced by the platform are high quality, across customer deployments
- 40% decrease in time to fill reported by organizations using Nebula in production
- 50% reduction in recruiting technology subscription spend, the direct result of consolidating five or more tools into one AI recruiting platform
For organizations managing high-volume hiring, those numbers go directly to margin and operational efficiency.
