Reply to comment by deezynr in Job listing platform Indeed lays off 2,200 employees by marketrent

Indeed is more than just the indeed website, they own other companies such as simply hired, glass door and a bunch of other stuff. There’s lots of sales people, hr people on top of engineering. They are also more than just a job board they help people do resume reviews as well as do the actual interviewing for companies as well.

It all adds up when you realize they need a website that runs world wide 24/7 serving millions of people a day.

That's not Indeed, that's Recruit you're talking about. A Japanese company, that owns Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.

You have never run or worked for an online platform with hundreds of millions of users, and it shows.

Just because you can use these websites for free does not mean they are cheap to run, in money or in manpower.

I’ll ride this downvote. 15,000 people is insane. Not apples to apples, but Craigslist has about 50 employees.

All the downvoters are all people who have never run a business.
