- Indeed has laid off more of its staff, Business Insider has learned.

- The layoffs come four months after Indeed and Glassdoor cut 1,300 employees in July, saying "AI is changing the world."
Four months after a major round of layoffs, Indeed is eliminating more roles.
The online job board Indeed laid off some of its staff this week, Business Insider has learned. Indeed declined to share how many staffers were impacted by the layoffs.
"To better align our team structure with business priorities, we've reorganized several functions and made the difficult decision to eliminate a very small number of roles," Indeed told Business Insider in a statement on Thursday.
Indeed's current head count is now around 11,000, according to the company.
In July, Indeed and Glassdoor laid off 1,300 employees as a result of the restructuring of their parent company, Japan's Recruit Holdings.
In an internal email viewed by Business Insider in July, Recruit Holdings and Indeed CEO Hisayuki "Deko" Idekoba said that the summer cuts would mostly affect US-based roles in research, people operations, and sustainability. The CEO wrote at the time that "AI is changing the world" and the company must adapt.
"Delivering on this ambition requires us to move faster, try new things, and fix what's broken," wrote Idekoba in July. "To achieve our company priorities, it requires creating a structure and culture to support them."
Indeed also laid off staff the year prior. In May 2024, the company cut 1,000 employees, or about 8% of its workforce at the time.
