Hiring managers are struggling to find the talent they need, while job seekers face one of the toughest markets in recent memory. Jonas Prising, Chair and CEO of ManpowerGroup, explains what is driving these pressures—from the economic cycle and geopolitical shifts to major demographic changes.
He also examines AI’s growing role in hiring and recruiting. While technology can make the process faster, it does not necessarily make it more accurate. For Prising, human judgment remains essential to recognizing potential, assessing fit and making better hiring decisions.
• How cyclical economic shifts, not structural AI-driven changes, are shaping employer confidence
• How big demographic shifts could push employers to tap underutilized parts of the global workforce
• How AI can increase speed of hiring but not always its accuracy
• How Manpower uses AI in hiring and recruiting and what leaders can learn
Prising also discusses ManpowerGroup’s recent research on employment trends, the early boss that changed how he leads and his take on whether big predictions for the future will become a reality.
Subscribe to Meet The Leader for more conversations on AI, hiring, leadership and the future of work.

How can artificial intelligence reveal trade opportunities and reduce costs?
Kholofelo Kugler and Émilie Delattre from Besso explain how AI is helping businesses navigate complex trade regulations, identify tariff-saving opportunities, and make better use of free trade agreements (FTAs). They also discuss the importance of trust in AI, the role of human oversight, and the potential of digital technologies to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those in developing countries.
Learn how AI-driven solutions can contribute to more inclusive, efficient, and accessible global trade during the WTO’s first World Trade and Tech Day on 14 September.
