Künstliche Intelligenz: So verschaffen sich Führungskräfte im mittleren Management einen Wettbewerbsvorteil
Je höher der Posten, desto größer die Erwartung an KI-Kompetenz. Ein Top-Headhunter verrät exklusiv, mit welchen Fragen er sie prüft – und wann er Bewerber sofort aussortiert.
Düsseldorf – In an era of economic uncertainty and artificial intelligence advancements, middle management roles are increasingly at risk of being replaced by algorithmic processes. According to the Federal Agency for Labor, the number of unemployed executives rose by 14.3% in 2025 compared to the previous year. This is primarily due to AI's ability to now handle various aspects of managerial duties such as resource planning, calculations, and cost control.
The Job-Futuromat, an instrument developed by the Institute for Employment and Labor Research (IAB), estimated that 67% of a manager's job profile can be replaced by algorithms. The middle management level is particularly vulnerable to this transformation. Aspiring executives must now demonstrate their worth through exceptional performance at every level.
Headhunter Bernhard Stieger helps identify suitable candidates through a series of questions exclusively provided to Handelsblatt.
