About

Talkdesk, a Portuguese-founded unicorn in the cloud contact center industry, has laid off a single-digit percentage of its global workforce as part of a restructuring effort. With approximately 2,100 employees worldwide, this reduction likely affects fewer than 200 people. The company cited the need to align resources with its strategic priorities and the current economic climate, including performance-based cuts. This move follows similar adjustments by other Portuguese tech unicorns. Talkdesk maintains over 1,000 professionals in Portugal and recently secured $230 million in funding.
