Not every opportunity hits job boards first.
🌎 Macro hiring Shift: The AI reset
According to Bloomberg, IBM plans to triple entry-level hiring in the US, with roles redesigned for the AI era.
Instead of replacing junior talent, IBM is restructuring work around AI tools — increasing demand for people who can operate alongside automation.
Meanwhile, Google has reportedly made its stance clear internally: AI adoption isn’t optional.
In the program Google’s AI Ultimatum: All In or Walk Out (Vantage with Palki Sharma), the message is framed as decisive:
Adapt to the AI-first shift or risk being left behind.
🙌 Tip from our HR
In volatile markets, hiring managers prioritize:
Proof of shipped work
Public signal (threads, GitHub, research)
