In yet another layoff in Silicon Valley, San Francisco-based Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) has laid off 30% of its recruiting staff. 
The online lodging platform laid off nearly a third of its recruiters in a move earlier this week, according to the company. The cuts were relatively small in the grand scheme however, impacting less than 30 individuals in the companyâs overall 6,811-strong employee base. 
A company spokesperson told Seeking Alpha that the company still plans to hire in 2023 and expand its overall headcount despite trimming the recruiters tasked with finding candidates. 


"Weâve become a leaner and more focused company over the last three years and even though we expect to grow our headcount in 2023, we have made the difficult decision to reorganize and reduce the size of our recruiting team to reflect our hiring projections," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "We are grateful for the contributions of our departing teammates and weâre working to support them through this transition."
