While other CEOs freeze entry-level roles, this AI founder is hiring Gen Z with zero experience | Fortune
""There are some positions where you actually want people that do not have the prejudice or the old way of working, because it's just not relevant anymore.""
""I'm hiring entry-level because they have no boundaries or limitations in how they think about the world. They're almost like AI natives themselves, having been born and raised in this new realm of opportunities.""
""The playbook is irrelevant today, because experience is no longer the currency it once was.""
Gen Z is experiencing significant challenges with mass unemployment as entry-level jobs diminish. Many employers plan to hire fewer graduates due to AI's ability to perform tasks more cheaply. However, Alon Chen, CEO of Tastewise, actively seeks Gen Z candidates with no experience or degrees. He believes younger workers possess innovative thinking and adaptability, making them ideal for new roles shaped by AI advancements. Chen's own unconventional career path exemplifies the shift in valuing experience in today's job market.
