Microsoft’s professional networking site LinkedIn said on Tuesday it would cut about 960 jobs, or 6 per cent of its global workforce, as the coronavirus pandemic is having a sustained impact on demand for its recruitment products. California-based LinkedIn helps employers assess a candidate’s suitability for a role and employees use the platform to find new job. Jobs will be cut across sales and hiring divisions of the group globally. “I want you to know these are the only layoffs we are planning,” Roslansky said in his message. LinkedIn said employees affected by its job cuts will be informed this week and they will start receiving invitations in the next few hours to meetings to learn more about next steps.
