Most of Indeed and Glassdoor’s layoffs are expected to hit US workers, particularly in research and development, HR, and sustainability teams, according to an internal memo obtained by DailyMail.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Indeed CEO Hisayuki ‘Deko’ Idekoba said the cuts include some leadership shakeups.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Glassdoor CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong has stepped down following the overhaul.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an email to staff, Idekoba said that ‘AI is changing the world.’<\/p>\n

Recruit Holdings, the parent company of Indeed and Glassdoor, said it is laying off 1,300 employees<\/p>\n
‘We must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employers,’ he added.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Indeed, the world’s biggest job site, says it helps someone get hired every 2.2 seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
More than 3.3 million companies use the platform to post jobs and vet candidates. Glassdoor, meanwhile, boasts 235 million employee reviews, salary listings, and insights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But despite its mission to connect job seekers with employers, the company couldn’t resist joining the corporate rush to replace staffers with software<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Job experts are raising red flags about how the AI shift is reshaping the entry-level job market \u2014 and what that means for recent graduates.\u00a0<\/p>\n The earliest positions to be automated have largely been junior roles, traditionally filled by high school and college grads just starting out in the workforce.\u00a0<\/p>\n That trend is creating what some are calling a ‘diamond-shaped’ employment structure \u2014 one where companies employ fewer executives and entry-level employees, while mid-career professionals enjoy expanded roles.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘AI is dissolving the bottom rung of the corporate ladder, especially in economies and industries where information work dominates,’\u00a0Igancio Palomera, the CEO of\u00a0Bondex, a Web3 professional platform, told DailyMail.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n Multiple companies have laid off thousands of employees to implement new tech – this image was generated by AI software<\/p>\n ‘The first casualties are disproportionately early-career professionals and operational generalists.’<\/p>\n Still, companies have a profit incentive to replace their workers. Many are racing to make the switch.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Microsoft \u2014 one of the leading firms investing in AI \u2014 is\u00a0laying off thousands of employees this month<\/a>\u00a0as it shifts resources toward deeper investments.\u00a0<\/p>\n Business Insider laid off 21 percent of its staff, including dozens of reporters and editors. The publication said it will soon run more AI content.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Last month, Lululemon said it was also replacing some of support center employees<\/a>\u00a0with AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, companies that have heavily invested in the artificial intelligence have seen massive stock rises.\u00a0<\/p>\n Yesterday, Nvidia, the chipmaker that powers dozens of AI firms in the US, became the first company ever to earn a valuation over $4 trillion<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Companies that haven’t adopted AI tech have struggled.\u00a0<\/p>\n Intel, once one of the most dominant chipmakers in the US, is laying off thousands of employees again<\/a>, as the company tries to catch up to new tech<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Without entry-level roles, analysts say the pipeline to mid-career positions is starting to collapse.<\/p>\n ‘Historically, entry-level roles were on-ramps into a profession where you learnt through accumulation,’ Palomera said.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Without serious internal repositioning, companies may experience rising attrition, passive resistance to AI adoption, or worse cultural erosion among their most loyal talent.’\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another roughly 1,300 people are set to lose their jobs to computers.\u00a0 Indeed and Glassdoor, the hiring and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3163],"tags":[323,1942,92,507,53,16,15,5601],"class_list":{"0":"post-255323","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-dailymail","11":"tag-microsoft","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-yourmoney"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114832846591316738","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Multiple](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/100201205-14894637-image-a-71_1752175789734.jpg\")
