6%QualityAI to hire 100 employees in Israel despite AI-driven QA layoffs. The software testing company, previously known as QualiTest, is expanding its local workforce even as the industry moves toward automation. 17:41, 28.06.26 While a large portion of the high-tech layoffs in recent weeks comes from the software testing (QA) field, which is shifting toward automated execution using AI, there are companies that do not believe in this trend. Calcalist has learned that the veteran software testing company QualiTest is currently recruiting 100 employees for software testing positions, SAP testers, cloud testing specialists, and automation specialists. QualiTest, a veteran company that has been operating for almost 30 years, is managed by Shai Lieberman and recently changed its name to QualityAI. It employs about 7,000 employees worldwide, mainly in Eastern Europe, of whom 1,500 are in Israel. All of the new positions are in the Israeli branch. The company confirmed the news and noted that it even intends to specifically approach employees laid off from Wix, which recently cut around 1,000 jobs, in order to recruit them for the open positions. This is a surprising move in light of the fact that QA is one of the first fields undergoing automation and replacement by AI. For example, Israeli cyber giant Check Point recently disbanded its QA department; some employees were laid off, while others were reassigned to different roles within the company. In response, QualityAI says that as AI systems expand and become an integral part of business operations, organizations are discovering that the real challenge is not only adopting AI, but ensuring it can be trusted. For many organizations, AI adoption creates new needs for planning, monitoring, and verifying the performance of AI-based systems. According to QualityAI, the move is also intended to address "AI washing", layoffs that are not necessarily driven by AI adoption, but are instead aimed at improving workforce efficiency or reducing excess headcount accumulated during the boom period.
