PwC Struggles to Find Tech Talent Amid Industry Shift

PwC grapples with tech talent shortage, aiming to hire hundreds of engineers but struggling to find them. The professional services industry is shifting towards specialized tech skills, with firms like Accenture and EY aggressively expanding their tech capabilities. McKinsey reports that traditional strategy advice now accounts for only twenty percent of its work, with a focus on deep implementation expertise and AI. PwC plans to cut graduate hiring by one-third, citing transformation efforts and AI impact. The firms ambitious recruitment goal of one hundred thousand people by mid-two thousand twenty-six is now unlikely to be met due to rapid technological changes and evolving talent needs.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
