Marc Benioff says Salesforce will hire no engineers this year


The CEO, who is all-in on AI agents, said he’s part of the last generation of executives who will manage an only-human workforce.

CEO Marc Benioff said Salesforce, San Francisco’s largest private employer, does not plan to hire engineers this year because of the success of AI agents created and used by the company. He proudly touted Salesforce’s agents while taking a dig at Microsoft, one of the company’s main competitors and a favorite target. Vernon Keenan, a senior industry analyst at Salesforce Devops, said the company’s pause on hiring engineers is evidence of the “quiet erosion of entry-level jobs” that’s a well-established pattern in Big Tech.
