• Ying and yang of AI bots: How the war on hiring is being fought AI is transforming hiring practices, with both job seekers and employers leveraging AI tools. Sara Gutierrez of SHL advocates for using AI with Talent Intelligence data to improve hiring outcomes. This approach promises to match candidates to roles based on skills rather than traditional qualifications, potentially revolutionizing recruitment.
• ‘High demand for AI talent pushes wages up by 25%’ The demand for AI talent is skyrocketing, with job postings growing 3.5 times faster than other roles since 2016. According to a PwC report, wages for AI-related jobs have increased by up to 25% due to high demand. While this surge presents opportunities for economic growth, workers will need to acquire new skills to remain relevant in the AI-driven job market.
• Chinese universities ramp up efforts to foster AI talent amid global AI race. Chinese universities are intensifying efforts to cultivate AI talent amid a global race for technological dominance. Top institutions are establishing dedicated AI schools and integrating AI courses across disciplines. This push aims to address a projected shortage of 4 million AI professionals in China by 2030, with some expert roles commanding annual salaries up to 2 million yuan.
• Closing the employment gap for older workers would generate £9 billion a year for the economy The Centre for Ageing Better analysis reveals that closing the employment gap between older and younger workers could boost the UK economy by £9 billion annually. The charity is calling for political parties to commit to raising the employment rate of 50-64 year olds to 75% by 2030. This would address current labor market imbalances affecting older workers, including age discrimination and lack of flexible working options, while potentially generating an additional £1.6 billion in tax revenue.
