Salesforce, the world-renowned cloud computing software giant, is actively deploying in the field of artificial intelligence. In order to promote the market sales of its AI tools, the company plans to conduct large-scale recruitment and further expand the size of its sales team. This move shows Salesforce’s confidence in the development prospects of AI technology and its determination to seize the opportunity in the fiercely competitive market. This recruitment operation is unprecedented in scale and will have a profound impact on the future development of Salesforce.
Cloud software giant Salesforce is planning to recruit a large-scale sales staff to promote the market sales of its AI tools.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said at a company event on Tuesday that the company plans to hire 2,000 new sales representatives, CNBC reported. That number is double the hiring plan Benioff revealed in an interview with Bloomberg last month. Benioff also revealed that Salesforce has received 9,000 recommendations for these 2,000 positions.
The massive hiring comes as Salesforce plans to release its second-generation AI agent software next February.
Benioff recently said on TechCrunch's Equity podcast that he expects Salesforce to have more than 1 billion AI agents in the next 12 months. Regarding generative AI, Benioff added: "I've never been more excited about anything at Salesforce, probably anything in my career."
Salesforce's substantial expansion of sales personnel fully demonstrates the company's emphasis on AI products and its confidence in its future development. As AI technology becomes increasingly mature and application scenarios continue to expand, the AI market has huge potential. Salesforce hopes to use its strong sales team to push AI products to a broader market, seize the opportunity, and consolidate its leadership position in the cloud software field.
Through this large-scale recruitment, Salesforce will undoubtedly further consolidate its competitiveness in the AI field and lay a solid foundation for future development. This is not only a reflection of Salesforce's own strategic layout, but also reflects the booming development of the entire AI industry.
