According to reports, a business and employment-focused social media platform, LinkedIn will sack employees in the recruitment department.
However, LinkedIn has not commented on the exact number of employees affected by the layoffs.
Recently in January, Global tech giant Microsoft announced that it would sack about 5 percent or 10,000 of its workforce amid a global economic slowdown.
Earlier in October, the company reportedly laid off under 1,000 employees across several divisions. The job cuts impacted less than 1 percent of the company’s workforce. The company hasn’t officially commented on the impending layoffs.
The job cuts are due to Microsoft’s revenue being expected to slow and follow no clear pattern concerning geography or product division.
The move is part of a larger trend of tech companies cutting jobs and slowing hiring as investors become increasingly fearful of a recession.
