Meta cuts hundreds of jobs in recruiting and sales to fund AI
Meta has laid off several hundred employees across recruiting, sales, global operations, Facebook teams, and its Reality Labs division. The cuts target areas outside core AI work. They free up billions of dollars for AI investments as the company shifts priorities. No details emerged on impacts to entry-level hiring.
Big Tech firms once grew recruiting and sales teams rapidly to handle expansion, giving entry-level candidates more shots at support roles. Layoffs like Meta's signal a pivot to AI infrastructure over operations, leaving fewer recruiters to sift through applications. In a shrinking entry-level market, this makes portfolios that grab attention on LinkedIn even more critical, especially ones proving AI skills without code.
