Hilton received 12,000 Gen Z applications for just 72 internship spots—its CHRO says AI has made the hospitality gigs more competitive
Gen Zers are turning their tassels and sending out hundreds of applications hoping for their first break.
AI Summary
Hilton’s early‑career Launch program attracted roughly 12,000 Gen Z applicants for just 72 internship positions. The company’s chief human resources officer said the surge reflects how artificial‑intelligence tools have intensified competition for hospitality entry‑level roles. Applicants are sending in hundreds of applications each, hoping to secure one of the limited spots. The program’s selectivity, according to the CHRO, now rivals admission rates at Ivy League schools. Hilton has not indicated any changes to the program’s structure or timeline.
