Salesforce, the San Francisco-based software big, has introduced that it’ll not be hiring any more engineers this yr, citing substantial productiveness enhancements from synthetic intelligence.
During the 20VC with Harry Stebbings podcast, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff emphasised that Agentforce, their main AI providing, has develop into the company’s central focus while planning for the next yr.
In his dialogue with the enterprise capitalist, Benioff defined the rationale behind the recruitment freeze. He projected a probable enlargement of the company’s workforce in 5 years, while noting, “We’re not adding any more software engineers next year because we have increased the productivity this year with Agentforce and with other AI technology that we’re using for engineering teams by more than 30% to the point where our engineering velocity is incredible. I can’t believe what we’re achieving in engineering.”
He additional elaborated that help engineer numbers would lower resulting from an agentic layer, while the gross sales staff would increase by roughly 1,000 to 2,000 folks to successfully talk AI-driven worth propositions.

Speaking to ET final month, Arundhati Bhattacharya, Chairperson and CEO of Salesforce India, mentioned AI’s function in increasing workforce capabilities.
She acknowledged, “If you look at people, consumers, all our demands are not met. You go into a state hospital, the doctors are overworked. Workforce is limited by the number of hours that they have at their disposal. What AI actually can do is to unlimit this limitation. Your employment opportunities will go up, maybe the roles will be different. Transition would be a little painful, but it will happen.” Bhattacharya confirmed to ET in September that Salesforce had doubled its Indian workforce in recent times.
