Companies Risk Talent Shortages By 2030 With Current Strategy
Gartner analysts have cautioned that companies slowing or pausing entry-level hiring due to uncertainty about artificial intelligence’s impact on the workforce may create bigger problems in the future. According to a Gartner survey, 55% of supply chain leaders expect entry-level hiring to decline because of advances in agentic AI. This trend could lead to talent shortages and increased hiring costs, as organizations that stop hiring and fail to develop early-career professionals may face talent pipeline gaps and employee dissatisfaction. The comments were made at the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo in Orlando, as reported by Logistics Management.
