Indeed, Glassdoor Cut 1,300 Jobs Amid AI Integration

News summary

Indeed and Glassdoor, under parent company Recruit Holdings, are cutting a combined total of approximately 1,300 jobs, representing around 6% to 15% of their workforce, as they accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into their platforms. The layoffs span various departments including research and development, human resources, and sustainability, and are part of a strategic move to fold Glassdoor operations into Indeed and enhance AI-driven efficiencies in recruitment and job search experiences. Recruit Holdings has been transparent about the direct link between these job cuts and AI adoption, with the company already having a significant portion of its new code written by AI, aiming to increase this further. While the integration of AI is expected to streamline operations and improve user experience, the decision has raised concerns about job security and the future role of human workers in tech-driven employment services. The CEO of Glassdoor, Christian Sutherland-Wong, is set to step down as part of this transition, highlighting significant leadership changes alongside the workforce reductions. This development reflects a wider industry trend, with other major tech companies like Microsoft, IBM, Google, Meta, Amazon, and Intel also enacting AI-related layoffs to focus on automation and AI-powered products.
