Zoom裁员150人，继续招聘AI、销售和工程人才
据界面新闻报道，视频会议平台Zoom本周裁员约150人，不到公司员工总数的2%。知情人士称，此次裁员并非全公司范围，Zoom将继续在今年增加人工智能、销售和工程等领域的员工数量。
Zoom发言人表示：“我们会定期评估团队，以确保与公司战略保持一致。作为这项工作的一部分，我们正重新调整部分角色，并继续在未来的关键领域招聘。”
此次裁员是Zoom自2020年以来首次大规模裁员。在疫情期间，Zoom因其便捷的视频会议服务而迅速增长，员工数量也大幅增加。然而，随着疫情缓解，Zoom的增长势头有所放缓。
Zoom首席执行官袁征在给员工的备忘录中表示，此次裁员是“艰难但必要的决定”，旨在“调整公司规模以应对当前的经济环境”。
Zoom表示，被裁员工将获得遣散费、医疗保险和职业安置服务等支持。
尽管裁员，Zoom仍计划在未来继续招聘人工智能、销售和工程等领域的员工。Zoom发言人表示，这些领域对于公司的长期增长至关重要。
分析人士认为，此次裁员表明，科技行业正在从疫情期间的快速增长中放缓。随着经济不确定性增加，科技公司正在采取措施控制成本。

**Headline:** Zoom Cuts 150 Jobs, to Focus Hiring on AI, Sales, Engineering
**Keywords:** Layoffs, hiring, AI
**Body:**
Videoconferencing platform Zoom laid off about 150 employeesthis week, or less than 2% of its workforce, according to the Information. The cuts weren’t companywide, and Zoom will continue to add staff in areas like artificial intelligence, sales and engineering this year, a person familiar with the matter said.
“We regularly assess our teams to ensure we’re aligned with our company priorities,” a Zoom spokesperson said. “As part of this process, we are making adjustments to certain roles and continuing to hire in key growth areas for the future.”
The layoffs are the first major job cuts at Zoom since 2020. The company grew rapidly during the pandemic as its videoconferencing service became ubiquitous, and its headcount swelled. But Zoom’s growth has slowed as the pandemic has eased.
In a memo to employees, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan said the layoffs were a “difficult but necessary decision” to “right-size our organization for the current economic environment.”
Zoomsaid it will provide severance, health insurance and career placement services to the affected employees.
Despite the layoffs, Zoom plans to continue hiring in areas like AI, sales and engineering in the future. Those areas are critical to the company’s long-term growth, the Zoom spokesperson said.
Analysts said the layoffs are a sign that the tech industry is cooling from its pandemic-fueled growth spurt. As economic uncertainty rises, tech companies are taking steps to rein in costs.
