The micro-blogging platform, Twitter is planning to hire engineers or sales executives after firing around 5000 employees from the company.

Twitter is reportedly planning to hire engineering teams in countries outside the US, including hiring from Japan, India, Indonesia, and Brazil. The company didn’t specify the kind of engineers or sales executives that Musk was planning to hire.

As per the report, Musk has encouraged employees to bring in referrals. He said that Twitter is seeking people with software-writing skills on priority. However, the company does not currently have any open positions advertised on its website.

“In terms of critical hires, I would say people who are great at writing software are the highest priority,” Musk told employees during the latest meeting.

Also, Musk has informed employees that the company is looking for significant portions of the technology stack that need to be rebuilt from scratch.

The Verge also reported that Twitter will not fire any more employees and will not move its headquarters to Texas shortly. In the past, Tesla had moved its corporate headquarters from Silicon Valley to Texas because of lower taxes there.

The microblogging and social networking service, Twitter sacked close to 3,700 people. On the other hand, the company fired 90% of the Indian workforce. Twitter has fired the majority of its over 200 employees in India as part of mass layoffs across the globe ordered by its new owner Elon Musk who is looking to make his $44-billion acquisition work.

The lay-offs in India were across segments such as policy, communication, engineering, and development. The entire marketing and communications department in India has been sacked.

Earlier, Twitter staff at the company set tasks so that it can be seen who works hard in Musk’s team. The teams of Twitter’s engineers have been assigned coding projects to be completed over the weekend. Twitter managers have told some staff to work 12-hour shifts, seven days a week. That is equivalent to 84 hours a week to meet Musk’s deadlines, citing internal communications.
