Talivity Appoints Graham Thornton to Lead New AI & Talent Tech Consulting Practice

Industry veteran brings deep expertise in recruitment technology and AI consulting to spearhead expanded practice

“Talent leaders face pressure to 'do something with AI,' but the crowded tech landscape makes it hard to separate noise from value. We help organizations cut through the hype and focus on what actually drives measurable hiring outcomes.”

— Graham Thornton, President of Consulting & Growth

Talivity today announced the launch of its AI & Talent Tech Consulting practice, appointing Graham Thornton as President of Consulting & Growth. The move comes as Recruitics, Talivity's sister company, completes its acquisition of Change State—the recruitment marketing and HR technology consultancy Thornton launched in 2019.

The practice's early results demonstrate its impact: a recent tech stack assessment for a multi-location healthcare organization identified over 8,000 annual hours in productivity gains for the recruitment team while maintaining the same HR technology budget—quantifying ROI that had previously gone unmeasured.

The consulting practice addresses the growing complexity talent leaders face when evaluating AI and recruitment technology. According to industry research, talent teams use an average of 12 different systems, yet many remain uncertain about which tools generate actual hiring outcomes.

Thornton's background spans both the vendor and practitioner sides of recruitment technology. Before founding Change State, he held leadership roles at recruitment marketing and tech companies including Symphony Talent, SmashFly, and Clinch. His consultancy specialized in helping enterprise talent teams navigate vendor selection, implementation, and optimization of their HR tech ecosystems.
