IT firms seek AI skills in new hirings; share of such staff set to rise to 25%

For instance, till last year, candidates with these skills comprised around 10% of the total hiring, but this year their share is expected to go up to around 20-25%, analysts said.

Further, going forward if companies decide to increase entry-level workforce by around 10%, half of it will comprise AI-based roles, according to Pareekh Jain, CEO of Pareekh Consulting.

"IT companies now need people with AI skills and it's easier for freshers to pick up these skills than experienced people. But the supply among freshers with AI skills is not available so, IT companies are checking if the students have AI aptitude and if they have done any courses," Jain said.
