Recruit Holdings Co., the Japanese parent company of job platforms Indeed and Glassdoor, announced plans to cut approximately 1,300 jobs across the two sites, representing about 6% of their combined workforce. This reduction is part of a strategic consolidation aimed at integrating Glassdoor's operations into Indeed and shifting the focus toward artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The merger will enable the combined platform to link job postings with workplace reviews, utilizing AI models to cross-check cultural data and better match candidates with suitable roles. The layoffs and operational changes reflect Recruit Holdings' broader move to enhance its HR technology offerings through AI-driven solutions.
