Marc Benioff of Salesforce Says 'We're Hiring 1,000 New Grads' - Just Months After Laying Off 1,000 Employees
"CEO Marc Benioff stated, 'We're hiring 1,000 new grads & interns right now to ride the AI exponential. You are right they said AI would kill entry-level jobs. Meanwhile these grads & interns are building it - powering Agentforce & Headless360 at Salesforce.'"
"The Wall Street Journal reported a 5.6% increase in college graduate hiring this year, despite concerns that AI could eliminate up to 50% of entry-level jobs."
Salesforce is hiring 1,000 new graduates and interns to work on AI initiatives, including Agentforce and Headless 360. CEO Marc Benioff announced this move to counter the narrative that AI is eliminating entry-level jobs. Despite recent layoffs totaling around 2,000 employees, the hiring of new graduates reflects a growing demand for talent in the AI sector. The decision has sparked debate, with some viewing it as a strategy to replace experienced workers with cheaper labor, while others see it as a necessary step to support new graduates in an evolving job market.
