Zillow Cuts 500 Jobs Amid AI Push | Seattle News
Description
Zillow just laid off over 500 employees — nearly 7% of its global workforce — as part of a major strategic shift toward AI-driven growth, with CEO Jeremy Wacksman calling it a tough but necessary move to scale effectively. While AI wasn’t explicitly cited as the cause, the company is rapidly integrating AI into daily operations, having already trained staff since April. This isn’t their first round of cuts this year — they trimmed 200 roles in January tied to performance reviews — signaling a bold, tech-focused transformation even if it means tough transitions for employees.
