>Indeed and Glassdoor — both owned by the Japanese group Recruit Holdings Co. — are cutting roughly 1,300 jobs as part of a broader move to combine operations and shift more focus toward artificial intelligence. The cuts will mostly affect people in the US, especially within teams including research and development and people and sustainability, Recruit Holdings Chief Executive Officer Hisayuki “Deko” Idekoba said in a memo to employees. The company didn’t give a specific reason for the cuts, but Idekoba said in his email that “AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences.”

AI isn't going to help the fact that employers want the moon for the price of a grain of sand - and in some cases have no idea what they want. AI also isn't going to help the fact that companies want H1B or Tyrone to fill jobs. It's also not going to help the fact that employers and candidates are separated by a wall of "No HR on site" and recruiters have no idea what the employer is looking for, let alone what the difference between a medical technician and a concrete technician are.

It also doesn't help that the "employees" have been using AI to try to get hired for as long as they had access. The snake is eating its own tail.
