Banks are stopping hiring. Artificial intelligence is changing the job market

The banking sector in Poland is experiencing a slowdown in employment growth, with a mere 0.5% increase in jobs reported by the Financial Supervision Authority. Despite a slight rise in central bank employment, branch jobs are declining due to digitalization and automation. Recruitment trends indicate a selective hiring process, focusing on specific competencies, particularly in technology and AI. Banks are not planning mass layoffs but are cautious about hiring, emphasizing the need for skills in cybersecurity, data analysis, and customer service. The future of banking jobs will likely involve collaboration between humans and AI rather than outright replacement.
