AI Job Attrition Recruitment & Digital Assistants 2025 to 2028

[jonovid]

list & text by pastor Rick Wiles of Faith & Values - Florida USA

What does it mean when two of the biggest job recruitment companies reduce their employee workforce by 1,300 jobs? It means three things:
1. Companies are suddenly hiring fewer humans.
2. Human jobs are transitioning to non-human agentive employees.
3. The job recruitment companies are also replacing employees with digital assistants inside their organizations.

Indeed and Glassdoor are owned by Recruit Holdings, a Japanese company. Recruit will reduce its headcount by 1,300 jobs, mainly in the United States, 6% of its workforce.

Recruit’s CEO Deko Idekoba, said, “AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring that our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employers.”

The first waves of an AI tsunami are coming ashore now. Few people are aware of its size. Each time it recedes, it will carry away millions of jobs, only to return bigger, taller, and stronger to take away more jobs over the next five years.

In February 2024, while attending Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I heard an executive tell the audience that within two years (meaning the end of 2026), all successful companies would have two classes of employees: human and non-human. At Mobile World Congress 2025, I witnessed a demonstration of approximately eight non-human agentive employees generated before the audience by augmented reality.

Rick asked Gemini AI to create a report for you showing the U.S. job sectors that will experience significant job losses by 2028, driven by the adoption of agentive digital employees.

Don’t allow fear to grip you. Instead, be proactive and learn how AI will be implemented in your industry and workplace immediately. You must know how to manage non-human employees. That’s right! You will keep your job (for now) if you learn how to manage a workforce of bots.

There is a recession at least in the US, which has nothing to do with AI. This started a few years back, and just gaining momentum. And a lot of current layoffs seem to be related to the changes in the tax code related to how R&D expenses are amortized. It became more expensive and bad for the books to have a lot of employees.

The job search platforms became entirely useless in finding jobs, as they are spammed and gamed, so I'm  not surprised they are not doing well.

Why pastor's opinion on job market matters is not clear.

I really don't see any evidence that AI actually does not anything useful, other than giving the CEOs a talking point and a way to justify the layoffs, which are in reality just an attempt to hide worsening economy.

Just heard in a radio interview with a recruiter: people are searching and finding jobs directly from the AI prompt completely bypassing the recruiting company. i.e. the AI is directing the candidates directly to the employers websites and it seems to work.
So AI does have an impact. On the recruiters themselves in the first place.

What's next ? Real estate ? Insurances ? Middlemen intermediation is a semi-parasitic type of business anyway.

[ataradov]

Going directly to the web sites has been the strategy well before AI. This is a common advice, since job searching sites are pure garbage. Their decline is just a continuation of that process. AI here acts just like any other search engine looking for a company with "Careers" page, it has no additional value.

Of course today not a lot of companies are hiring, but recessions end and that will improve. Job search sites - I'm not so sure. They failed to police their sites when times were good, and now their reputation is in the gutter.

Its the stronghold that intermediaries put on their market that I think its problematic, like, in Morpheus words: "they are holding all the keys, they are guarding all the doors".
Many times its impossible to buy a house or get certain jobs without going to them. And without alternatives, paying them dearly for a minor service. Where the value of that service is given mainly by the context and less by the quality of their sites.

The competition from AI would be very much welcome. I am just concerned that in a short period of time the AI's would get to do the same. And humans will have to bribe the AI when the AI overlords will find a ways to exploit the context.

When i was looking for jobs many years ago i went to agencies.
Before the interviews i was always asked to register through the portal and upload my CV, and everytime it had to be a manual process because it couldn't import europass, or any other format.
At the interview i was also asked to bring my cv to the agency so they could load it into their system.
Every time i asked why, because i already did that in the portal of the agency.
Because the central system is not compatible with our local system.
Every single time.

And the interviewer would be absolutely clueless about anything. I interviewed for tech of course, but also for sales and other stuff when i was studying.

I have zero sympaty for these types and i'm glad their job is being automated away, given how useless the majority of them are. It's probably easier to reason with a clueless machine than a clueless human

Anything bad for recruitment companies is good.
Why they exist, I've no idea, zero value added.

Looks like some companies are already taking this quite literally

Butbutbut ... that's "AI"-generated! Of course they'd show that.

Is that this pastor Rick Wiles?

Rick Wiles (born August 20, 1953)[1] is a far-right[2][3][4] American conspiracy theorist,[5][6][7] pundit, and Christian fundamentalist senior pastor at the non-denominational Flowing Streams Church. He is the founder of TruNews, a website promoting racist, homophobic, and antisemitic conspiracy theories.[8][9][10]

Wiles has said that Jews seek to obtain control of countries to "kill millions of Christians", and has claimed that Jews are "deceivers" and that Jews "plot, they lie, they do whatever they have to do to accomplish their political agenda".[11] In February 2020, YouTube permanently banned the TruNews channel.[12]

Sounds like a recommendation... but for what?

[ataradov]

Looks like some companies are already taking this quite literally 

This was a weak attempt at viral marketing by a shitty startup that has no chance of survival once seed money ends. They also had to apologize because of how shitty that ad was. All of those companies somehow advertise to employers, but forget that employees are also looking at that.

You mean like a search engine?

Yes, like a search engine that gives good matches to what people are looking for.
Or it may be that as of now, the AI is not (yet) biased by profit schemes. But this situation won't hold. Wait a little while and see what happens.

I've seen this shift happening firsthand in my own industry, we started using AI tools for basic reporting and data entry about a year ago, and it's already cut the need for junior admin roles by almost half.
