AI Is Changing Talent Management—Here's What To Watch For
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes AI will create many new job opportunities. (Photo by Patrick T. ... More Fallon / AFP via Getty Images) Whether AI will create millions of jobs or drive mass unemployment is still hotly debated—most recently by the Chief Executive Officers of two technology giants, Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Anthropic's Dario Amodei. What is not debated, however, is AI's disruptive effect on the talent landscape. Tech firms' aggressive recruiting of AI talent is perhaps best exemplified by Meta's reported $300 million pay packages. Microsoft's layoffs, which appeared to coincide with AI investments, illustrate how talent needs can shift. AI's talent impact goes way beyond tech firms. Most employers (69%) are planning to hire for skills in designing AI tools and enhancements to support business goals, especially in big data, network, cybersecurity and technological literacy, according to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs 2025 report. Given the increasingly strategic importance of talent and talent management, here are four questions to assess your firm's understanding of AI's talent implications. What Is Our AI Readiness? People vary widely on how they perceive AI's impact on their career prospects. In turn, this may affect employees' motivation to gain AI proficiency. For example, only 36% of women (versus 45% of men) believe that AI can help their careers. Viewing AI as an obstacle, rather than an avenue, for job security and career advancement could foster resistance to developing technical literacy. Ambiguity around the rules for using AI and perceptions of AI's trustworthiness can also undermine adoption as well. People who are more likely to follow rules may hesitate to use AI absent clear guidance for when and where its use is allowed. Hesitation may also be tied to doubts about AI's capabilities—to make unbiased recommendations and assessments, for example. Understanding who sees AI as a career asset—and who doesn't—may be a good starting place to determine a talent pool's AI readiness. Assessing the clarity of AI usage rules and trust issues is another way to gain insight into employees' readiness to adopt AI. How Will Non-AI Skills Needs Change? Adopting AI tools to replace some skills may increase the demand for other, more human skills. For example, 65% of workers would prefer AI to track their performance and 55% would welcome AI's help to manage deadlines. But over 85% say they much prefer that a human manager motivates, recognizes, empathizes and validates them, according to a survey of 512 employees, conducted by Better Up Labs and Stanford's Social Media Lab. Ethics and creativity are other skills that are likely to emerge as increasingly critical, according to research from MIT, which analyzed the removal, continuation, or addition of job tasks in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' database of occupations between 2016 and 2024. Most employers expect to transform their workforce to better work alongside AI: 77% are planning to reskill or upskill their existing workforce, while 62% anticipate hiring new people for this, according to the WEF's Future of Jobs Report. How Will AI Impact Succession Planning? To be able to effectively understand, anticipate and manage AI risks, leadership teams need the appropriate talent. Over half (54%) of CEOs view AI and related technologies as threats to their business, according to a Russell Reynolds report. The risk is especially high around cybersecurity. AI's growing role in strategic planning makes it imperative to revisit leadership talent needs, identification and development. The more AI becomes central to strategic decision making, the more important it is for leadership pipelines and succession planning to reflect this shift. Your AI leadership and talent pipeline should reflect AI's centrality to your business strategy—fundamentally changing your products and services, versus supporting your operations. In this evolving environment, there is no set formula or defined role. Some firms will have chief AI officers. But other AI roles abound. They may include AI transformation leader, for enterprise-wide transformation, AI product leader, to push a specific AI offering; or AI innovation leader, to understand and develop AI possibilities across the business, according to Russell Reynolds. What Are Liabilities From AI Job Displacements? Because of disparities in gender and racial or ethnic representation across a wide range of occupations, replacing people with AI could disproportionally affect protected classes of employees in some jobs. For example, because AI is increasingly used to automate customer service jobs, retail roles, and warehouse jobs, Black and Latino workers, who tend to be overrepresented in those jobs, may be especially likely to be let go. A similar effect is expected in some of the jobs where women tend to be clustered, like cashiers, secretaries and bookkeeping clerks, which AI is poised to more readily replace. Disparate impact—when a seemingly neutral employment decision negatively affects people in a protected class category like gender, race, age, national origin—that results from AI-based employment decisions can become a liability. To minimize exposure, firms may want to ensure that introducing AI to replace employees in specific roles is a business necessity. They may also want to explore less discriminatory alternatives. How AI might affect strategy is a topic of discussion in many boardrooms. Most firms anticipate they will need AI skills to address the disruptions and opportunities it brings. But AI is likely to have broader consequences for the firm's entire talent pool, forcing hard questions about who gets reskilled, hired, or fired. Companies that ask—and effectively answer these questions—are likely to navigate these disruptions more smoothly and be best prepared for the future.

Older jobseekers struggling to find employment

The team behind the seniors at work website say they have noticed more and more older workers have been struggling over the last nine months and a slow down in recruitment generally especially impacts them.
