LinkedIn is to cut the number of people it employs in its recruiting department globally, in a move that looks set to impact some staff working in its office in Dublin.
According to a reports by The Information, the Microsoft owned company made the announcement internally yesterday as the resizing of the tech sector continues.In a statement, LinkedIn confirmed the cutbacks, but said it continues to increase its workforce in other areas.
"While we continue hiring in strategic roles with the greatest impact, it's not at the same pace," the company said. "With this reduced need for hiring, we’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of our global Talent Acquisition team." "We are focused on supporting those impacted through this transition and in line with local practices."In October the jobs and professional networking social media platform confirmed it was significantly scaling back plans to expand its office space at a new campus in Dublin. The company said the decision was a consequence of more of its Irish based staff working from home more often, which meant it did not need as big an office footprint, although it continued to recruit new employees. Parent Microsoft said in January that it was going to cut 10,000 roles or 5% of its workforce globally as part of a cost-reduction plan.The company employs more than 3,500 people in Ireland across a variety of roles including operations, sales, engineering and product development.
