Salesforce Suspends Engineer Hiring Amid 30% AI-Driven Productivity Boost
2025-01-09

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has recently unveiled a strategic shift, revealing that the company will refrain from hiring new software engineers in 2025. This decision stems from Salesforce's remarkable success in enhancing its engineering team's productivity by over 30% leveraging advanced technologies, notably its flagship AI product, Agentforce. Despite the suspension of engineer hiring, Salesforce aims to bolster its salesforce to promote AI technology and elevate the efficiency of sales and customer service operations. With Agentforce set to debut in 2025, the company is poised to deepen its foothold in the burgeoning AI market.
