For decades, the Shared Services talent model was predictable: hire armies of entry-level workers to manage simplistic, process-heavy tasks, and promote the best performers over time. Today, the rapid advancement of automation and AI has fundamentally redesigned that model, effectively wiping out Tier Zero. The manual data-entry jobs are gone, which begs a critical question: what exactly does an "entry-level" role look like now?
