The last few weeks have ushered in several announcements about layoffs and job cuts in many organizations. And while the technology industry remains among the hardest hit, organizations across various industries have announced layoffs.
As organizations increasingly communicate layoffs within their workforce, I have created this tracker to help leaders and recruiting teams to stay informed about organizations that have announced job cuts and layoffs since the start of the year. The tracker includes a brief description of each organization’s announcement and a link to the source announcement, which provides more details.
While layoffs are taking place in several organizations, many organizations continue to add jobs and recruit talent. To that end:
- Recruiters, search firms, and hiring managers that are trying to attract and recruit candidates for their own open jobs can use this resource to identify opportunities for recruiting talent from organizations affected by layoffs.
- Job candidates that are looking for their next employment opportunity can use the comments section in this LinkedIn thread related to this post to indicate to recruiters and hiring managers that they are in the job market. This can help expand the reach of your job search.
Please note that this tracker does not currently include every company that has announced layoffs and job cuts since the start of 2023. However, I will continue to update it each week as I come across new information, so check back occasionally for updates.
