In the United States, nearly 9 in 10 CEOs plan to hire more despite the rise of AI, here's why

Search for a job, finalize your CV, optimize your application… Artificial intelligence is already omnipresent in all facets of recruitment. But while it helps maximize your chances of getting an interview, AI reduces the number of positions available in certain sectors. For example, IT, translation and management are seeing the number of professional opportunities shrink as artificial intelligence advances.

Such a technological revolution therefore naturally gives rise to fears among young people. Which profession to choose? Will I be replaced by an AI? Why train for a profession that will disappear in 10 years? But despite everything, artificial intelligence could have beneficial effects on recruitment. A survey published on October 15 by KPMG reveals that the great replacement of AI may ultimately never see the light of day.

The consulting firm surveyed the CEOs of 400 large U.S. companies with annual revenues exceeding $500 million. Nearly 9 in 10 plan to increase their workforce over the next three years. Most CEOs don't plan to reduce their overall workforce.

Among the CEOs surveyed, 86% said they were “rethinking roles, career paths and team structure to reflect human-AI collaboration.” Artificial intelligence is therefore not the employee of tomorrow. It is a tool that requires supervision by humans and CEOs are aware of this. The worker does not disappear, he evolves.

Logically, employees skilled in artificial intelligence are the most sought after. 79% of recruiters say they target them as a priority, in particular to facilitate the integration of AI into the daily life of the company. For 40% of CEOs surveyed, AI agents significantly improve productivity. Conversely, only 9% believe that they really transform the organization. Attracting employees capable of configuring them is a priority.

This decision to recruit more can also be explained by a timetable: 68% of CEOs expect a return on their investments in AI in one to three years. In the meantime, employees are needed. And all is not rosy, however. We are recruiting more, but 53% of CEOs also announce job cuts linked to AI in certain areas within two to five years.
