If you’re a company that heavily relies on engineering and sales talent, keep an eye on companies who are downsizing (laying off people).
In late 2015 Twitter decided on a big layoff estimated at about 8 percent of its workforce, with particular emphasis on product and engineering departments. This sparked a huge hiring frenzy in the Bay Area and the employers that were smart and fast to act benefited greatly.
Made some tough but necessary decisions that enable Twitter to move with greater focus and reinvest in our growth. http://t.co/BWd7EiGAF2
