We have too. Luckily, a reporter at **Vulture** [interviewed](https://www.vulture.com/article/glasgow-sad-oompa-loompa-interview.html?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wonka-s-hiring) her to find out. “It was listed on **Indeed**,” the actress said. “I don’t normally get my acting jobs through Indeed, but I just thought, all right. To be honest, I was a wee bit skeptical, because it was not through an agency. They were offering £500 for two days of work, so I decided to go.” Dream gig, maybe not. But these days, going viral can be a golden ticket in itself. Questions? Comments? [Let us know](mailto:drew@recruitmentmarketing.com). We’d love to hear from you. **— Team** **[RecruitmentMarketing.com](http://RecruitmentMarketing.com?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wonka-s-hiring)**✨   ***Today’s edition is a 4-minute read. Here’s what to expect👇*** 🗞️ *Workday acquires AI company* 🧑‍💼 *ZipRecruiter sees revenue decrease* 💻 *Layoffs at Bumble, Cisco, Vice* 📋 *TikTok, HubSpot, Chewy are hiring for TA roles* *Did someone forward you this email?* *[Subscribe here](https://weekly.talivity.com/subscribe)*📥️   **NEWS** ## **Something You Should Know This Week** WorkDay Announces Plans To Acquire AI Talent Platform HiredScore ![](https://weekly.talivity.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Workday_hiredscore__1_.jpg) This week, software giant **WorkDay** announced its plans to acquire **HiredScore**, an AI-powered talent solution that enables companies to use data-driven insights to improve recruiting and talent mobility processes. **What’s the big deal?** Well, the plan to acquire marks another example of how large firms are looking to expand their presence in workforce operations. We’ve seen this play out a lot in the past decade: In fact, a [recent report](https://www2.staffingindustry.com/Research/Research-Reports/Americas/Staffing-Trends-2024?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wonka-s-hiring) by **SIA** noted almost half of the world’s largest software firms conduct some type of activity in the workforce ecosystem (ex. **Microsoft’s** acquisition of **LinkedIn** in 2016). This time, the move to acquire an AI company is especially notable, especially when it’s by a firm that ranks as the 16th-largest software firm by market capitalization. When **Workday** speaks, the industry listens. **Why spend the bucks on HiredScore?** With 150+ employees and clients like **GM**, **Southwest** **Airlines**, and **Dell**, **HiredScore** has long been known an attractive acquisition target in the industry. And while **Workday** already has an extensive network of workforce ecosystem companies in its portfolio, the company [noted its desire](https://newsroom.workday.com/2024-02-26-Workday-Announces-Intent-to-Acquire-HiredScore?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wonka-s-hiring) to add AI solutions that deliver real business value for customers. “HiredScore is the perfect complement to our product portfolio,” **Workday** **CEO** **Carl** **Eschenbach** said. **Give me more deets!** Unfortunately, there aren’t many. The company briefly announced its intent to acquire **HiredScore** during its Q4 earnings call (where they also [reported weaker-than-expected](https://www.tipranks.com/news/wday-earnings-workday-fy25-outlook-disappoints-investors?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wonka-s-hiring) guidance for 2025, driving the stock down over 5% in after-hours trading). Following earnings, the company put out a [press release](https://newsroom.workday.com/2024-02-26-Workday-Announces-Intent-to-Acquire-HiredScore?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wonka-s-hiring) about the acquisition, which they said is expected to close in the first quarter of **Workday's** fiscal year 2025. The deal is [rumored to be in the hundreds of millions](https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/hjtsokjnt?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wonka-s-hiring), according to **CNET**. **What does HiredScore have to say about it?** As you’d expect, they seem happy! “We’ve only just begun to see the opportunities of what is possible with responsible AI in the workforce, and how organizations can use it more efficiently and effectively to deliver on HR transformation goals related to recruiting and employee experiences,” said **HiredScore Founder and CEO Athena** **Karp**. “By combining our efforts and innovations with **Workday**, we’ll be able to deliver even more value to companies around the world as they look to build their future HR function.”   **NUMBERS** ## **Numbers That’ll Make You Think** -
