Elon Musk is already hiring again after firing roughly two-thirds of Twitter's 7,500 employees in only three weeks.
According to two people who attended and a portion of a tape obtained by The Verge, Musk stated that Twitter is done with layoffs and aggressively recruiting for positions in engineering and sales. He also stated that staff is encouraged to make referrals. His remarks came the same day that Twitter's sales team, which has lost nearly all of its senior leadership since Musk took over, was hit by an unspecified wave of layoffs.
Twitter does not currently have any open positions advertised on its website, and Musk did not make any specific mention of the types of engineering or sales positions the firm was searching for. Last week, The Verge reported that Twitter was already contacting developers and inviting them to join "Twitter 2.0 - an Elon company."
Anyone joining Twitter today will do so in a far smaller organization than it was prior to Musk's takeover. The precise number of departures during his tenure is unknown, but before he fired over half the workforce, there were almost 7,400 workers with access to Twitter's internal systems. As of press time, that number—which does not include the thousands of independent contractors Musk had fired—had decreased to slightly over 2,700.
