Indeed FutureWorks Explores AI’s Impact on Mexico’s Workforce

The recent Indeed FutureWorks event brought together business leaders, talent experts, and HR professionals to discuss the evolving role of AI in the workplace. Organized by Indeed, the event explored how digitalization, AI, and workforce inclusion are shaping the future of work in Mexico and beyond.

According to Indeed’s September 2025 survey, 75% of Mexican workers believe that data analysis and report generation are among the tasks most likely to be replaced by AI, while 73% consider administrative and repetitive activities highly automatable. In contrast, respondents identified people management, strategic decision making, and leadership as the least replaceable tasks.

Indeed’s AI at Work Report 2025 found that over a quarter of job postings on the platform could be “highly transformed” by Generative AI, while 54% may experience moderate transformation, depending on how quickly employers adopt the technology and how workers adapt through reskilling. 

“Hiring in Mexico remains strong, with job postings on Indeed 57% above pre-pandemic levels. This shows a resilient labor market, though demographic trends will make long-term talent acquisition more challenging. Employers should innovate to bring more people into formal employment and sustain growth,” says Pawel Adrjan, Director of Economic Research for EMEA and APAC, Indeed.

Adrjan adds that while adoption of AI skills is still concentrated in a few companies— 90% of AI-related vacancies in the United States come from just 1% of companies — the potential for expansion is significant. In Mexico, the share of job listings mentioning AI grew from 0.9% in 2024 to 1.3% in September 2025, reflecting rising interest in digital transformation.

In response to these trends, Indeed announced a collaboration with OpenAI to promote technological education and reduce uncertainty surrounding AI adoption. The initiative aims to help companies harness AI-driven opportunities while improving job matching and workplace performance.

“The world of work is changing faster than ever, and Indeed is investing in innovation to lead that change,” says Mauricio Plaschinski, Vice President, Indeed. “We are leveraging AI to reimagine how job seekers connect with employers more efficiently and meaningfully.”

Indeed’s research also found that 31% of Mexican respondents believe AI will significantly reshape the roles of younger employees within five years. This expectation reinforces the importance of strengthening worker capabilities and fostering collaboration between human and technological skills.

By aligning technological innovation with human potential, Indeed aims to advance Mexico’s transition toward a more agile, inclusive, and AI-ready labor market.
