Laying off less than 1/3 of the talent search team and nothing else doesn't exactly sound like the sky is falling. Is there more to it than that?
If they are having a hiring freeze, what's the point in having recruiters. Seems ok to get rid of recruiters. It is business after all.
Recruiting team?
It was mostly contractors. Recruiters are also the first to go if there’s a hiring freeze. Pretty standard
This at least means twitter is not planning to lift the hiring freeze. Still not a good sign
It’s a combination of Elon, a hiring freeze, the economy and lack of profitability. I believe the reason recruiting was impacted is because current and previous leadership hired too many recruiters and created layers that over bloated the team. Essentially comes down to poor leadership in TA.
More silent layoffs have been happening, the difference this time is the laid off the more publicly spoken people and were caught of guard by how quickly the media picked up on it.
Yes. The layoffs are happening in the form of PIPs or threatened PIPs to make people resign.
If you still have a job at Twitter don’t wait to get out. More layoffs are coming.
Put the blame on Elon
I don't think you can blame layoffs entirely on Elon. It's a combination of profitability (or lack thereof), current market conditions (layoffs are happening all over tech, there's no reason to think Twitter would otherwise be immune), Jack Dorsey's departure (resulting in Twitter's stock losing ~30%), and yes, the drama with Elon.
