AI Job Ads on the Rise!
The demand for AI professionals is skyrocketing, with the number of job advertisements increasing by a staggering fivefold since 2015. According to a recent study by Citi, the London School of Economics, and the Oxford Martin School, the growth in AI job ads is concentrated in specific areas.
Tech-AI and Broad-AI Jobs
The research revealed that the number of “tech-AI” jobs, which require hard skills to “run, train and test” AI models, has grown ninefold globally. On the other hand, the number of “broad-AI” jobs, which require an understanding of AI technologies but not the hard skills found in tech-AI jobs, has grown over elevenfold worldwide.
Supply and Wage Implications
While the demand for AI professionals is high, the supply is skewed across the United States, with California alone having almost a third of the country’s total. This shortage of professionals has wage implications, making the search for AI talent a global endeavor that relies on remote and hybrid arrangements, according to Pantelis Koutroumpis, director of the Programme on Technological and Economic Change at the Oxford Martin School.
Kelly Services Inc.’s AI Recruitment Platform
In response to the growing demand for AI professionals, Kelly Services Inc. has rolled out Kelly Arc, an online recruitment platform. This platform combines matching technology and personalized services to help employers find the right candidates for their AI jobs. While employers can post jobs for free, they must pay a fee if they hire a candidate through the platform.
Candidate.fyi’s Funding Round
Candidate.fyi, a platform that offers a candidate portal and pulse surveys for job candidates, recently closed a $1.3 million pre-seed funding round. The platform aims to provide valuable resources and tools for candidates throughout their job search journey. Backed by SuperAngel.Fund and industry executives, including the former chief human resources officer at Disney, Candidate.fyi is set to revolutionize the candidate experience.
The End of “Copy-Paste” Jobs?
In a bold move, Suumit Shah, CEO of Duukan, replaced 90% of his support staff with chatbots, claiming that “copy-paste” jobs are a thing of the past. While Shah is enthusiastic about replacing workers with automation, not everyone shares his sentiment. Business Insider reports that some are hesitant to see workers replaced entirely.
