New York (CNN) — Fewer employers for staff means 270 employees of task search site ZipRecruiter will soon be unemployed.
The company is cutting 20 percent of its shares through the end of this month, the company revealed in a filing due Wednesday.
“This measure was taken as a reaction to existing market situations and after cutting other discretionary expenses, with the aim of selling efficiency in the long term,” according to the document.
The company had said in the past that it was experiencing a “typical softness in task postings” in January, but sounded other alarms about a slowdown in the hard work market. Its first-quarter profit fell 19 percent from a year earlier, and it expects its current quarterly profit to shrink nearly 30 percent from the current quarter of 2022.
The task search site still forecasts adjusted earnings that are about the same for this year as last year, though it said it would “temporarily react to our environment” by “increasing our focus on periods of profitability from declining employer demand. “
About some of the 270 workers who lose their jobs are part of the sales and visitor teams. The corporate will deliver between 7 and nine million dollars to cover severance pay. It still expects to reach the same profit point, excluding special pieces such as severance pay, as in its previous forecast.
He also announced that chief executive Ian Siegel had agreed to a 30% cut in base pay from June 1. He has a base salary of $550,000, according to an earlier filing, but last year he earned a full refund of about double that amount.
Layoffs in the generation sector have become widespread in recent months. Amazon, one of the nation’s largest private-sector employers, announced two rounds of job cuts totaling 27,000 positions this year, and Facebook’s corporate holding company Meta announced 21,000 job cuts since last fall. Alphabet, Microsoft and Salesforce, and especially Twitter, have all announced major task cuts.

Despite all the job cuts in generation and also in the media, U. S. employers are not yet in the media. In total, U. S. officials are still hiring more people than they are cutting.
Private sector employment rose to 278,000 jobs in May, according to ADP’s monthly national employment report released Thursday, far more than the 170,000 economists expected. Economists also forecast a gain of 190,000 jobs by May when the Labor Department releases its monthly employment report. on Friday. April’s jobs report is also much stronger than expected, with employers adding 253,000 jobs.
However, hiring is slower than a year ago, when employers created 445,000 monthly tasks, on average, in the first part of 2022. The number of Labor Department task postings, while up 3 percent in April from March, is down 14 percent from a year earlier, though that still means there are 1. 8 tasks available for each task finder.
