Glassdoor actually laid off 1,300 staff
In fact, Recruit Holdings, which is actually a Japanese parent, said on Friday it was firing around 1,300 employees (6% of staff) at two offices.
Job cuts primarily affect the functionality of the two companies’ R&D, Tech, HR and Sustainability Divisions. It has been reportedquotes internal notes.
Reuters also reported that the company’s CEO Hisayuki Idekoba wrote in a memo: “AI is changing the world and we must adapt by providing job seekers and employers with a truly amazing experience.”
Glassdoor’s business has actually been integrated, Reuters added that Glassdoor CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong will leave the company on October 1st.
Work will be reduced as tech companies around the world roll back sustainability initiatives and cut jobs to balance broad spending to integrate AI into their business. Over the past few months, tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs at Microsoft, Tiktok, Match, Intel and Meta.
Certainly, Glassdoor did not immediately reply to requests for comment outside of normal business hours.
