Big Tech companies are letting people go. It is all over the news. Thousands of jobs are being cut at big companies like Google and Meta and teams are being changed overnight.. That is not the end of the story. Small companies often feel the effects of this sometimes before people even notice it.
1. Talent Shifts Flood the Market
Skilled people are now available to work from engineers to people who manage products. Small companies can benefit from this. There are a lot of other companies trying to hire them too and these people are used to getting paid well and having good benefits like they did at Big Tech companies.
2. Funding Becomes Cautious
When Big Tech companies let people go it makes people unsure about what’s going on and investors are being more careful about giving money to small companies. It is taking longer to get money and small companies need to show that they can make a profit.
3. Candidate Mindset Changes
People see that Big Tech companies are not as stable as they thought so now they want jobs that are safe and will help them grow in their careers. Small companies need to show people that they are trustworthy and have a plan for the future.
4. Market Confidence Drops
Clients and partners are noticing what is going on and even small companies that are doing well are having a time making deals and growing.
Turning Hard Times Into Good Times
While Big Tech companies letting people go is unsure it also gives companies a chance to do something special:
- They can hire great people that they could not afford before
- They can build a strong team that can do a lot with a little
- They can show people that they have a good company culture and a purpose
