According to AI TIMES, analysis by JobKorea found that postings for AI specialist roles in the first half of this year rose 128% from a year earlier, and the share of non-development roles also expanded to 21.6%. The report released on September 15 focused on how AI hiring is rapidly spreading beyond development and data positions into planning, content, and business roles. In particular, companies appeared to be seeking experienced workers more aggressively than entry-level hires, with this trend especially pronounced among large conglomerates. Within non-development roles, demand for content, planning, business, and education-related positions grew evenly, signaling a stronger push to find staff who can apply AI in actual work. The report also said hiring procedures are increasingly being used to check AI proficiency, suggesting that standards once seen as relevant only to specific development roles are changing. On the other hand, postings for general development roles declined in some areas, indicating that AI is being read not simply as replacing existing work, but as part of a process in which companies are reconfiguring the mix of skills they need.
Perspective
The key point here is that AI hiring is no longer just a matter for a limited set of technical roles. The expansion in the share of non-development positions, together with a preference for experienced workers, shows that companies are looking for people who can connect AI directly to existing work rather than hiring large numbers of new employees. In the end, the labor market is likely to place greater weight on experience in applying AI to real-world jobs than on job titles themselves.
