This truly sucks - I'm sorry to hear that. If you're one of the unlucky engineers that caught up in all this - reach out to the email address in my profile. We're hiring tons of awesome engineers at Uber, and if that's not the right fit for you I can help get you connected to other SF companies as well.
- giarc 11y agoSpit balling an idea here for Site X. -Twitter lays off a bunch of engineers. -Twitter employees create job profile, with Twitter permission on Site X. -Site X is accessible to other large tech companies looking for experienced engineers. Site X is a showcase of recently laid off employees filtered by layoff group (#368 employees, Twitter, Fall 2015). ---- Pro's - other tech companies can locate talent without having to weed through thousands of resumes. -engineers can transition from one company to another quickly. -Twitter shows support for "helping transition to another job." --- Con's - is this considered poaching? -Do other companies want those engineers that got laid off? Are they considered low quality, or just were redundant?

- giarc 11y agoTrue, however if you were head of HR for a tech company, would you rather take a risk with a recent Twitter employee, or take a risk with applicants you receive online? It would almost be like a pre-vetting process.
