Bosch, BCG, Celonis: So setzen sich Bewerber in Zeiten Künstlicher Intelligenz durch
Gerade Berufseinsteiger haben es auf dem Arbeitsmarkt schwer. Das Handelsblatt hat Recruiter aus großen Unternehmen in Deutschland gefragt, wo und wen sie aktuell einstellen.
In a rapidly changing job market, finding employment has become increasingly challenging for recent graduates. According to recent analysis, the proportion of entry-level positions relative to total job vacancies has dropped to 42% of the average over the past five years. However, this number is slowly recovering, but the overall market remains tight.
Many companies have traditionally hired numerous university graduates each year, yet a recent survey suggests that two-thirds of surveyed businesses intend to hire fewer of them in the future. Similarly, job-seeking difficulties are affecting other industries as well. A LinkedIn survey of 1,000 job seekers revealed that nearly a third of young professionals currently struggle with finding a job.
The rising popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) is partly responsible for this trend. The International Labour Organization (ILO) reports that AI is increasingly taking over tasks traditionally performed by entry-level employees, such as research, presentation creation, protocol writing, and text drafting. To stand out in today's competitive job market, recent graduates must make themselves more noticeable.
Companies like Bosch emphasize the importance of unique profiles and "soft" skills such as empathy, people skills, creativity, curiosity, and learning readiness. In addition to these qualities, employers like Bosch and Commerzbank look for flexibility and adaptability. BCG values empathy, critical thinking, and a strong learning ability in their recruits.
Celonis, a leading software company, focuses on soft skills and the ability to guide AI in programming, testing, and documentation. They emphasize the importance of critical thinking, sound judgment, and a healthy dose of common sense. As AI takes over more routine tasks, recent graduates must demonstrate specialized technical skills, particularly in fields like software development, where knowledge of KI is now as essential as language skills.
