Indeed and Glassdoor to lay off 1,300 employees
The cuts, announced by Hisayuki Idekoba, CEO of their parent company Recruit Holdings Co., are primarily driven by a strategic shift towards AI optimization.
Idekoba stated that adapting to AI is crucial for delivering improved experiences for job seekers and employees, requiring faster innovation and efficiency.
The majority of the job losses are anticipated in the U.S., specifically impacting roles in research and development, and people and sustainability departments.
This move follows previous substantial workforce reductions by Recruit Holdings Co. in 2023, and Glassdoor 's employee review functions will be integrated into Indeed.

Trump Media to broadcast GB News on US streaming platform Truth+
The Trump family media company has partnered with GB News to broadcast the channel on its US streaming platform, Truth+. Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which operates social media app Truth Social, the streaming platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand announced on Friday that it will add GB News to its list of available channels – making the UK broadcaster accessible to most countries globally, including the US. GB News, which has hosted rightwing commentators such as Nigel Farage, will be offered with the free basic package on Truth+, and can be accessed through multiple devices and platforms including iOS, Android, Web, Apple TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire. This new alliance between TMTG and GB News comes as the US president continues to criticise the mainstream media, filing lawsuits against giants such as Rupert Murdoch, as well as broadcasters and smaller newspapers. Earlier this year, Trump claimed that the US media was full of 'radical-left monsters', who are guilty of 'illegal' reporting. More recently, White House communications director, Steven Cheung, has said that 'liberal media' is spreading 'fake news' in relation to reports claiming that Trump's name appears in US justice department files about Jeffrey Epstein. Trump Media's chief executive and chairperson, Devin Nunes, said in a statement: 'GB News is a terrific source for news, facts, and commentary. 'By expanding its global reach, we aim to connect an enormous new, international audience to the network's unique reporting and opinion, while putting another dent in the global woke news monopoly.' Sign up to First Thing Our US morning briefing breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what's happening and why it matters after newsletter promotion Angelos Frangopoulos, GB News chief executive, said: 'As the fearless champion of freedom of speech in Britain, it is important that we launch across the United States of America and globally on the Truth+ streaming platform.'

Turkey welcomes strategic transit corridor after Azerbaijan-Armenia peace deal
ANKARA, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Turkey on Saturday welcomed a peace accord between Azerbaijan and Armenia and said it hoped a planned strategic transit corridor, which could boost exports of energy and other resources through the South Caucasus, will open soon. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a U.S.-brokered peace accord on Friday during a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump that also included exclusive U.S. development rights to a transport corridor through Armenia, linking Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan, an Azerbaijani enclave that borders Baku's ally Turkey. The transit corridor that would pass close to the border with Iran, will be named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, and known by the acronym TRIPP, and will be operated under Armenia law. NATO member Turkey has strongly backed Azerbaijan in its conflicts with Armenia but has pledged to restore ties with Yerevan after it signs a final peace deal with Baku. Speaking in Egypt, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the corridor could "link Europe with the depths of Asia via Turkey," and it would be "a very beneficial development." The peace agreement could transform the South Caucasus, an energy-producing region neighbouring Russia, Europe, Turkey and Iran that is criss-crossed by oil and gas pipelines but riven by closed borders - including between Turkey and Armenia - and longstanding ethnic conflicts. Iran welcomed the agreement "as an important step toward lasting regional peace", but warned against any foreign intervention near its borders that could "undermine the region's security and lasting stability".

Trump-backed World Liberty proposes $1.5bn crypto holder, Bloomberg News reports
World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture backed by Donald Trump and the US president's family, is sounding out investors for a $1.5bn fundraising round meant to set up a public company that will hold its WLFI tokens, Bloomberg News reported on Friday. The structure of the deal is yet to be finalized, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter, adding that large investors in the crypto and tech space had been approached for the venture. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. World Liberty did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. World Liberty – a 'decentralized platform' which counts Trump and his sons Eric and Donald Jr as co-founders, according to its website – has earned the family $500m since its launch, according to Reuters' calculations. World Liberty tokens, known as $WLFI, are not classified as securities by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are hence not subject to the same level of scrutiny as investments such as stocks. Economists who follow crypto and some key Senate Democrats have voiced multiple concerns about Trump's glaring conflicts of interest in the crypto sector and the broader economic threats that his administration's ongoing deregulatory efforts pose. 'Trump and his family are clearly eager to establish a broad foothold in the sector prior to further regulatory actions that are likely to boost crypto asset valuations,' Cornell economist and crypto watcher Eswar Prasad told the Guardian in an article published in April. 'Such investments by the Trump family take potential conflicts of interest to an altogether new level.' The Guardian contributed reporting
