With all the recent news about layoffs, it’s easy to feel thrown off balance. You might be asking the same question I get from many executives and professionals right now: Why do companies with layoffs still hire?
The truth is, hiring during layoffs isn’t as contradictory as it seems. Organizations make strategic decisions based on shifting priorities, restructuring for new goals, modernizing skills, and positioning themselves for long-term growth. In this video, I break down the three core reasons this happens and how understanding each can help you make more innovative moves in your own career strategy.
If you’re in a leadership role or planning your next pivot, now is the time to make sure you’re ready, whether that means staying visible for internal opportunities or landing the next external role faster. Preparation matters.
