Human resources in 2026 are affected by 3 factors
In 2026, human resources will be affected by 3 factors: AI wave, inflationary pressure and changes in tariff policies.
The 2025-2026 recruitment market report just released by TopCV Vietnam Joint Stock Company shows that in 2026, human resources will be affected by 3 factors.
According to TopCV Vietnam Joint Stock Company, the wave of artificial intelligence (AI), inflationary pressure and changes in tariff policies are 3 factors affecting human resources in 2026 in Vietnam. Inflation and the risk of economic crises make businesses more cautious in spending on salary funds; AI has fundamentally changed the way of operation. In particular, the appearance of new tariff policies entering the "top 5" influencing factors for the first time shows that the legal environment is forcing units to recalculate profit margins and personnel costs.
Based on a survey of more than 3,000 business and employee representatives, TopCV Vietnam Joint Stock Company found that instead of expanding scale massively, most businesses in Hanoi and across the country will prioritize selective recruitment and optimizing labor productivity. In addition, the human resource market in 2026 will not be left out of the impact of fluctuations in the world economy.
According to TopCV Vietnam Joint Stock Company, the information technology (IT) sector is the industry most strongly affected by AI with more than 42% of IT Outsourcing businesses affirming that AI is profoundly changing from service model to product implementation. The e-commerce industry is also under pressure from new tariff policies with more than 24% of respondents worrying about increased cross-border operating costs, directly affecting employees' salary funds and benefits.
