Insight Global plans to hire more than 1,700 full-time employees in 2026 as demand for AI transformation expertise surge

Insight Global, a talent, consulting, and AI company based in Atlanta, announced on July 6, 2026 that it will hire more than 1,700 full-time employees across consulting, technical delivery, sales, recruiting, and corporate operations. The expansion is driven by growing demand for technical talent and AI transformation work, including multiple projects supporting the nation's largest AI infrastructure developments.

CEO Bert Bean said, "For 25 years, we've been finding the right people to solve hard problems. Today, one of the hardest problems in business is unlocking real value from AI. You can't outsource transformation to software. You need people who know how to build and run it. We're investing in our workforce so we can keep helping our customers move faster while creating meaningful career opportunities for thousands of people."

The hiring momentum reflects the company's broader AI and talent strategy, highlighted by the recent launch of IG Labs, its AI services and products practice, and the Solutions Associates Program, which creates a pipeline of early-career talent for customers across industries.

Cillian Maher, President of Insight Global's Consulting division, noted that access to implementation expertise is the key differentiator in AI services. He said, "By investing in new talent across consulting, delivery, and engineering, we're giving customers the expertise they need to accelerate faster."

The expansion stands out because competing companies are slowing or pausing hiring. Overall demand for Insight Global is up 15 percent year over year, with AI-specific demand increasing 136 percent in early 2026. The company remains committed to developing its people personally, professionally, and financially as part of its broader mission.
