Salesforce Plans to Hire 1,000 Graduates Amid AI Expansion and Recent Job Cuts

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff announced plans to hire 1,000 graduates and interns to support its expanding AI products, including Agentforce and Headless360. This hiring initiative follows fewer than 1,000 job cuts in February affecting roles like marketing and product management. Benioff stated that AI is creating new opportunities rather than eliminating entry-level jobs. Salesforce also raised its fiscal 2026 revenue and profit forecasts, anticipating strong demand for its AI agent platform.
