An employee who had worked at a company for over three years and consistently received good reviews felt frustrated after discovering that a new colleague in the same role was allowed to work fully remotely, despite his own repeated requests for hybrid work being denied.

Corynn Winston | CNBC

U.S. software development job postings have increased nearly 15% since February 2025, even as overall job postings declined, suggesting that AI is reshaping the profession rather than eliminating demand. However, the recovery is concentrated in senior-level positions and AI-focused roles, while employment among early-career software developers has fallen nearly 20% since 2024. The findings highlight how AI is changing the skills employers seek, increasing demand for experienced professionals while making it harder for newcomers to enter the field.

A survey of 155 major UK graduate employers found that 92% had encountered or suspected AI-related misconduct during recruitment, including candidates using AI during interviews and assessments. The article highlights the importance of using AI to improve applications while preserving authenticity, demonstrating relevant skills and avoiding shortcuts that can undermine a candidate’s credibility.

The article explores Gartner’s prediction that 30% of employees displaced by AI could be rehired by 2029, potentially at a higher cost, and argues that companies should assess existing employees’ transferable skills before making cuts. It highlights how AI-driven restructuring can affect institutional knowledge, recruitment costs and employee trust.
