Claude emerges as fastest-growing AI skill in Korean job postings

In Korea, job postings are increasingly specifying the need for hands-on experience with artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. Claude, a generative AI tool, is leading this surge in recruitment demand, according to data from JobKorea, a human resources technology platform owned by Worksphere. Recruitment postings mentioning generative AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini saw a staggering 170 percent increase in the third quarter compared to the same period last year.

Among these tools, Claude recorded the most significant rise, with mentions increasing by 770 percent. Google's Gemini followed with a 500 percent increase, while ChatGPT saw a 165 percent rise, Microsoft Copilot a 96 percent increase, and Midjourney a 46 percent increase. Claude's share of postings naming specific AI tools surged from 17 percent last year to 55 percent this year, closing the gap with ChatGPT, which maintained around a 70 percent share over the same period.

The demand for skills related to AI applications, such as generative AI, prompt engineering, AI agents, and vibe coding, also experienced notable growth.
