Based on Beijing recruitment panel data of listed companies from 2016 to 2024, this study analyses the impact of listed companies’ level of artificial intelligence (AI) development on the number of job openings in Beijing. The results indicate that an increase in the level of AI development significantly boosts companies’ hiring volume in Beijing. Mechanism tests show that companies’ AI development significantly promotes the growth of job openings in Beijing through two channels: scale expansion and the creation of new tasks. Heterogeneity tests indicate that the positive effect of AI development levels on recruitment volumes in Beijing is more pronounced in the manufacturing sector, in eastern regions, and among non-state-owned enterprises. Further analysis reveals that corporate AI development significantly raises average employee compensation levels but does not have a significant impact on internal wage disparities within firms. Based on these findings, the study proposes recommendations such as strengthening national AI talent development and implementing differentiated approaches to industrial digital transformation. These recommendations provide a reference for exploring models that leverage AI to promote high-quality employment and for Beijing to play a leading and exemplary role in this regard.
