"While we continue to hire as a business globally, we are streamlining our talent acquisition function and as a result, parting ways with a small number of colleagues," a TikTok spokesperson said. "Impacted employees have been encouraged to apply for open roles within the company, with some already being offered new internal opportunities," the company said.In June 2022, TikTok announced plans to create 1,000 jobs in Ireland, adding to the 2,000 staff already employed by the company here.The platform has its EMEA trust and safety team, its European small and medium-sized business operations, and its European data privacy and data protection team in Ireland.
