Lemkin Shares ICONIQ Data on SaaS Hiring Trends

Jason Lemkin posted data from ICONIQ Capital on headcount at SaaS firms. Companies growing more than 100 percent a year are adding 133 percent headcount annually. These firms continue increasing staff even as they invest the most in AI. Everyone else is growing headcount more slowly than revenue. The 50 to 100 percent growth group shows this pattern in particular. Lemkin frames the figures around the question of whether companies are now hiring fewer humans.
