TRU Staffing Partners Releases 2025 AI Governance and Data Privacy Jobs Report

TRU Staffing Partners has released its 2025 AI Governance and Data Privacy Jobs Report, offering a comprehensive analysis of hiring trends and salary benchmarks in the fields of privacy and AI governance announced in a press release. The report highlights several key trends, including the rise of contract-to-hire roles, which surpassed direct hiring in data privacy for the first time in 2024.

Despite the high demand for AI governance roles, the report reveals a significant gap between advertised salaries and those offered in privacy, indicating a misalignment between employer expectations and market realities. Additionally, burnout remains the leading reason professionals enter the job market, surpassing compensation concerns for the second consecutive year.

The report also notes that hybrid work arrangements have become the norm, as fully remote roles remain scarce. Furthermore, it predicts that litigation and business value, rather than regulation, will drive job growth in 2025. This data aims to assist hiring managers, program leaders, and job seekers in navigating the evolving landscape of AI governance and privacy talent.
