Uber lays off 200 employees from its recruiting team

Transportation network company Uber Technologies has reportedly cut 200 employees from its recruiting team due to cost savings.

In The Wall Street Journal story, it was noted in a memo sent by the company to its staff that laying off 200 employees would provide cost savings in tough economic conditions.

The layoffs, which will affect 35 percent of Uber’s hiring team, represent less than 1 percent of its total employees, the company said, noting that the company laid off hundreds more this year, mostly in its shipping unit and overseas food delivery operations.

In the news, it was stated that the company has more than 32,000 employees worldwide, and that Uber drivers are not included in the number of employees.
