Microsoft is considering a hiring freeze driven by significant cost savings from AI productivity tools, according to Chief Commercial Officer Judson Althoff. During the AI Tour London event, he emphasized their commitment to grow revenue in the mid-teens without adding headcount over the next three years. The deployment of AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot has reportedly increased productivity among users. Althoff noted improvements in pipeline generation and revenue, accompanied by better customer and employee satisfaction rates.
Microsoft is optimistic about AI's cost-saving potential, committing to a hiring freeze for three years while still aiming for revenue growth.
Our top quartile of Copilot users generate 10% more pipeline, 23% faster close rates, and 9% more revenue per head per baseline.
