After I saw the hiring ad, I searched for this post. But now I'm not sure this was wrong of them. When the layoffs happened, the CEO said they would be cancelling all their 200 job openings "except for a handful of roles" that aligned with the company's short term goals. That seems to be true, there are only 20 job postings on their website and the majority of them are in sales. Lastly the ad said if I remember correctly "Flexport is hiring sales people," it wasn't advertising some general lift of their hiring freeze.
It is interesting that they are hiring a Sales Manager when at least one Sales Manager was part of the layoffs[1], but there are reasonable explanations for this too.
