Indeed and Glassdoor to Redundant 1,300 as AI Takes Center Stage

A substantial shift is looming in the landscape of job search platforms. Recruit Holdings, the parent company of leading job search sites, Indeed and Glassdoor, has announced layoffs of 1,300 employees. This seismic transitional phase aligns with Recruit Holdings’ broader restructuring strategy, underpinned by an aggressive turn towards artificial intelligence (AI).

This workforce reduction, affecting R&D, tech, HR, and sustainability divisions, dovetails into the proposed integration of Glassdoor’s operations within Indeed. This realignment aims to streamline operations and optimize resource allocation. Although disproportionately impacting the US teams across the two companies, the restructuring is expected to reverberate across all countries and functions.
