Apple lays off 100 recruiters: What CEO Tim Cook said on hiring

Apple has reportedly sacked around 100 contractor recruiters in the last few days. According to a report in Bloomberg, Apple laid off many of its contract-based recruiters in the past week, part of a push to rein in the tech giant’s hiring and spending. The report quotes people with knowledge of the matter. “About 100 contract workers were let go in a rare move for the world’s most valuable company, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the situation is private. The recruiters were responsible for hiring new employees for Apple, and the cuts underscore that a slowdown is underway at the company,” said the report.
Recently another report in Bloomberg claimed that Apple has big changes planned for the year 2023 as the company wants to slow hiring and spending for some teams starting next year. The report, however, added that not all people will be affected, but the Cupertino giant will not backfill roles or add new employees in certain cases.
