Hiring Is Changing: Why Human Judgment Still Matters in the AI Era: ManpowerGroup

Hiring managers are struggling to find the talent they need, while job seekers face one of the toughest markets in recent memory. Jonas Prising, Chair and CEO of ManpowerGroup, explains what is driving these pressures—from the economic cycle and geopolitical shifts to major demographic changes.

He also examines AI's growing role in hiring and recruiting. While technology can make the process faster, it does not necessarily make it more accurate. For Prising, human judgment remains essential to recognizing potential, assessing fit and making better hiring decisions.

How cyclical economic shifts, not structural AI-driven changes, are shaping employer confidence

How big demographic shifts could push employers to tap underutilized parts of the global workforce

How AI can increase speed of hiring but not always its accuracy

How Manpower uses AI in hiring and recruiting and what leaders can learn

Prising also discusses ManpowerGroup's recent research on employment trends, the early boss that changed how he leads and his take on whether big predictions for the future will become a reality.
