‘Jobs just look different’ | Fears about AI replacing entry-level jobs are overblown, HR expert states

AI is coming for your jobs. Right?

A staggering 85% of British workers believe it to be true, according to HiBob, the company behind HR platform Bob. Their research also found that more than four in ten workers (42%) advise those entering the workforce to look at 'second choice' roles in sectors facing skills shortages.

These concerns come as no surprise. Just yesterday, HR Grapevine reported that the ‘Big Four’ accountancy firms - EY, Deloitte, KPMG and PwC - had noticeably reduced their graduate intake amid an AI push.

However, the fears are overblown, HiBob asserts. Their data shows that almost three-quarters (73%) of HR professionals say they have been able to hire graduates directly into high-level roles, bypassing traditional entry-level positions, thanks to AI.
