Triplebyte, a recruiting platform that matches engineers with tech companies, has laid off 15 employees, representing 17% of its workforce. The cuts, which occurred in San Francisco, primarily affected the customer success and technical writing teams, with the talent manager role being eliminated entirely. According to a former employee, these layoffs are linked to a strategic product shift rather than the coronavirus pandemic. This restructuring follows the departure of founder Harj Taggar as CEO five months earlier, signaling ongoing changes within the company.
