Meta - Layoffs

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is planning another round of layoffs in 2025, affecting thousands of employees. According to a report from Business Insider, the company is expected to cut nearly 3,600 jobs, which is around 5% of its workforce. This decision is part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s broader strategy to improve efficiency and performance within the company. In short, he went to the Jack Welsh School (focus on raising performance).


This is separate from Meta hiring 100 recruiters (focus on AI engineers).

Ghost Posting Issue:

 Ghost Posting Issue:


1. Check the Job Posting Date


One of the first indicators of a ghost job posting is the date it was listed. Jobs that remain open for an unusually long time without updates might be inactive. Companies often leave these postings up to build a pool of potential candidates for future needs rather than immediate hires.


Actionable Tip: Set up job alerts to receive the latest postings and prioritize those listed recently.
