This isn’t Indeed’s first round of layoffs. In 2024, the company cut 1,000 jobs, and in 2023, it slashed 2,200. The recurring Indeed layoffs highlight a pattern of restructuring to prioritize AI integration. For Austin workers, these cuts underscore the challenges of staying competitive in an AI-driven economy.

Recruit Holdings, the Japanese parent of Indeed and Glassdoor, said on Friday it is laying off about 1,300 employees at the two companies. The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring that involves Glassdoor’s operations being integrated within Indeed, and an increasing focus on using AI.
