Hilton received 12,000 Gen Z applications for just 72 internship spots—its CHRO says AI has made the hospitality gigs more competitive
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hospitality company Hilton received approximately 12,000 applications from Generation Z candidates for 72 available internship positions. This acceptance rate of 0.4 percent makes the company's early-career program more selective than many Ivy League universities. According to the company's chief human resources officer, the increased competitiveness is partly attributed to the adoption of artificial intelligence in the application process.
WHY IT MATTERS
The surge in applications highlights how artificial intelligence tools are driving unprecedented competition for corporate entry-level programs by simplifying the application process.
Only 0.4% of young applicants make it into Hilton’s early-career program—even more selective than Ivy League colleges.
