I analyzed 1,000+ job postings to see if AI is actually changing hiring standards. The number that surprised me: only 18% mention AI at all. Sounds low. Here’s why that number is almost meaningless. 91.5% of those AI requirements aren’t listed under “Required Skills” or “Preferred Qualifications.” They’re buried inside the job description itself — written as assumed context, not a checkbox. “GenAI tool fluency (e.g., demonstrated use of ChatGPT, Claude)” — that’s Boston Consulting Group (BCG) . “Experience prototyping product concepts using AI prototyping tools.” — that’s HubSpot 's requirement for a senior PM “Deep interest and experience in Vibe Coding, LLMs, and the future of software creation” — that’s Base44 looking for AI Content Creator AI isn’t being added as a new requirement. It’s being woven into what the job already is. The same way “proficiency in Microsoft Office” quietly disappeared from JDs — not because it stopped mattering, but because it became assumed. The shift isn’t even across industries: → Consulting: Deloitte, BCG, McKinsey already treat AI fluency as working context, not a bonus skill. → Marketing: Companies ask for AI tool fluency. The ask is “can you 10x your output,” not “can you build a model.” → Software: Splitting in two. Tool adoption (Copilot, Cursor) on one side. A technical cliff — RAG, LangChain, fine-tuning — on the other. → Ops/Management: 3.3% mention AI. The change hasn’t hit JDs yet.
