Ai talent has a salary bonus of 30%: “ If you try to catch up later, it will cost you even more ”

The addition of IA skills to post descriptions could cost employers 28% more in annual remuneration, revealed a recent report by the Lightcast research company. AI skills can include expertise with large language models (LLMS), such as Chatgpt and Microsoft Copilot, as well as fast engineering, text summary, etc.

A Lightcast analysis of more than 1.3 billion jobs in 2024 revealed that roles advertising at least one of the generative AI or AI of $ 18,000 in annual remuneration on average than those who did not do so. Some 51% of these AI roles were not in technology -related industries, compared to 44% in 2022.

“The AI becomes more and more omnipresent throughout all the work descriptions that we see for practically a different career field,” said Cole Napper, vice-president of research at Lightcast, in HR Brew.

AI skills are no longer associated only with technology or computer roles, said to be coated, and the roles that see the greatest increase in the demand for skills in AI are recruiters and human resources professionals.

Companies that do not follow this trend, he said, might miss talent.

“There is a divergence between employers who say:” We do not look into this space. We don’t really see the need to do it, “said to be reproducing.” It is better to recruit as soon as possible, because if you try to catch up later, it will cost you even more. ”

This is a problem of supply and demand, added to coat. More and more employers are requiring IA skills, but the supply of employees with these skills has remained coherent, he said. He suspects that the workforce will adapt to increasing and reskilling, but it will take time.

“There is always a delay effect because it takes people time to acquire skills,” he said.
