(Bloomberg Opinion) – Jaguar Land Rover says it is considering hiring workers it has laid off by technology firms including Meta Platforms Inc and Twitter Inc. to fill vacancies in the digital and engineering segments.
The luxury car maker aims to employ around 800 workers in Britain, the United States, Ireland, India, China and Hungary, the company said in a statement on Friday. His work is in areas such as autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, electrification, cloud software, data science and machine learning, he added.
Tech firms are cutting staff and slowing hiring amid higher interest rates and sluggish consumer spending, plus a strong dollar. Parent Facebook Meta is cutting around 11,000 jobs, the first round of major layoffs in the social media company’s history, while Twitter under new owner Elon Musk has implemented massive cuts and many of its workers have resigned.
Jaguar Land Rover, which is owned by India’s Tata Motors Ltd, said the technology workers to be recruited have skills essential to developing and building the automaker’s next generation of electric cars.
