The global job landscape is undergoing a seismic shift, with a staggering 2.2 times increase in job postings related to AI or generative AI over the past two years.
LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, forecasts that the skills required for jobs worldwide are set to transform by a substantial 65% by 2030, driven by the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence. This wave of change is reshaping the very foundations of the workforce.
The job landscape is evolving rapidly, with a notable surge in global job postings mentioning AI or Generative AI, which have more than doubled (2.2x) over the past two years.

LinkedIn’s research also highlights the enthusiasm of Australian professionals for AI adoption in the workplace, with 84% expressing excitement about its use, and 49% eagerly anticipating AI’s role in career advice and 54% in handling challenging work situations.
As organisations brace for these impending changes, business leaders are turning to HR and recruitment teams to spearhead the transformation. A significant 88% of talent professionals in Australia attest that their roles have become more strategic in the past year, particularly in talent acquisition. AI is poised to play a pivotal role, relieving HR teams of operational burdens and enabling them to focus on strategic, human-centric aspects of their roles. In fact, 29% of HR professionals believe AI will serve as a valuable tool in the next five years, facilitating deeper candidate relationships and fostering creative and strategic work.
Adam Gregory, Senior Director, ANZ, LinkedIn Talent and Learning Solutions, underscores the seismic shift in required skills for roles, with a staggering 27% change in Australia and a projected global shift of at least 65% by 2030.
