As tech companies continue to announce massive layoffs, Jaguar Land Rover launches a global drive to hire laid-off tech employees.

Big tech companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, HP, and more are starting to lay off a large part of their workforce this year, according to Mashable, leaving employees in the tech sector with limited opportunities.

Recently, social media giants Twitter and Meta have joined in on the layoff spree, with Musk trimming down a huge percentage of employees after his Twitter takeover and Zuckerberg dissolving large divisions such as the 'Responsible Innovation' Team.

Amidst the tech sector trimming staff in a bid to protect profit margins, Tata Motors' Jaguar Land Rover recently launched a global hiring campaign specifically toward laid-off employees to aid their company's digital transformation to become an electric-first business.
