So far, 2022 has been the year for layoffs in the tech industry. As of August 2022, more than 38,000 workers in the U.S. tech sector have been laid off in mass job cuts according to Crunchbase News and over 73,000 across the globe.
Fortunately, despite layoffs, a skills shortage still exists within the tech industry, and it’s our stance that what is happening in the current labor market is more of a talent reshuffle. To help facilitate this reshuffle, we’re connecting laid-off tech professionals with recruiters looking to hire, in our Facebook Talent Community: Tech Layoffs 2022.
