About
Blend, a California-based mortgage technology company, is laying off approximately 420 employees, representing 25% of its workforce, in two rounds during 2022 (200 in April and 220 in August). This drastic cost-cutting measure comes in response to a severe market downturn and a massive $478.4 million loss in Q2 2022, partly due to a $392 million impairment charge related to its Title365 acquisition. Facing historically low mortgage origination volumes expected to persist through 2025, the company is restructuring to focus on higher-return products and achieve significant annual savings. The layoffs are part of a broader strategy to streamline operations, including vendor contract reviews and offshoring, as the mortgage industry navigates a challenging economic environment.
