PSA Enterprise Software: Shift (3697 JT) - How its HR and AI Strategies Coexist

As Shift starts to incorporate AI into its processes, it is worth asking whether the software tester really needs to keep hiring so rapidly. Although this hiring is contributing to a lower sales/employee ratio over the medium term, we think the company’s strategy is mostly correct in light of Japan’s ever intensifying labour shortage and the ability the company has to redeploy its workforce as AI gradually automates various aspects of software testing.
