Why do Internet giants lay off employees on a large scale while recruiting?

There are several reasons for the massive layoffs of Internet giants during recruitment:

1. Transformation and upgrading: With the changes of technology and market, Internet giants need to constantly adjust their business structure and strategic positioning to meet the new market demand. In this process, it may be necessary to lay off some people whose business is no longer applicable, and at the same time, it is necessary to recruit more people who understand new technologies and new businesses to promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises.

2. Survival of the fittest: The Internet industry is highly competitive. Only by staying innovative and leading can we remain invincible in the market. Therefore, Internet companies need to eliminate the survival of the fittest through layoffs and recruitment, leaving the best talents, thus enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises.

3. Cost control: Internet giants may expand their recruitment scale in the early stage of development, but with the maturity and development of enterprises, cost control will become more and more important. In this process, it may be necessary to lay off some redundant personnel and recruit more people with multiple skills to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

4. Talent flow: There is a large talent flow in the Internet industry, and some people may leave the enterprise for various reasons, resulting in the need for recruitment. At the same time, some excellent talents may be poached by other enterprises, resulting in more recruitment and training.

Generally speaking, it is a common phenomenon for large Internet companies to lay off employees on a large scale while recruiting, which needs to be decided according to the specific situation and market demand. Enterprises need to comprehensively consider various factors in order to realize their long-term development and sustainable growth.
