Indeed and Glassdoor are cutting more than 1,000 jobs

Job-hunting platforms Indeed and Glassdoor are cutting their workforce, and it may be thanks to good old artificial intelligence. About 1,300 jobs from the companies will be eliminated, mostly in two departments: research and development, and people and sustainability. There will also be some executive shuffles, including the exit of Glassdoor CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong. 

Both services are owned by Japan-based Recruit Holdings Co. and its President and CEO Hisayuki "Deko" Idekoba announced the layoffs in a memo. It doesn't appear that any specific reasons were given for the consolidation. However, Idekoba did enthuse about the importance of AI in the missive, which likely didn't make any of the impacted employees feel any better. "AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences," he wrote. "Delivering on this ambition requires us to move faster, try new things, and fix what's broken."

Idekoba is already on the books as a proponent of AI use in job searching and hiring. "Hiring is still too slow and too hard, and we’re using AI to make it simpler and more personal — for both job seekers and employers," he said when taking over as CEO of Indeed last month. Ironically, he assumed leadership of Indeed when former CEO Chris Hyams left in order to help tackle the "urgent issues" in developing responsible AI tools.
