After making layoffs of 10% of its workforce in January of this year, the cloud-based software company Salesforce Inc (CRM.N) is reportedly employing 3,300 workers across a variety of divisions, as reported by Bloomberg News on Thursday, citing CEO Marc Benioff.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Benioff stated that their primary objective is to “grow the company while continuing to achieve great margins.” “We are fully aware that we will need to recruit thousands of individuals.”
According to Chief Operating Officer Brian Millham’s comments to Bloomberg, the newly hired employees will be distributed among sales, engineering, and those working on Salesforce’s data cloud platform.
A request for comment from Reuters regarding the report was not immediately met with a response from the company.
After rapid viral hiring left the company with an overly large workforce amid an economic slowdown, Salesforce said in January that it plans to reduce the number of jobs by 10% and liquidate certain offices.
The enterprise software producer has attempted to steer clear of a slowdown in technology investment by releasing a suite of artificial intelligence features and hiking costs for the first time in seven years.
Einstein Copilot is a generative artificial intelligence tool released by the company earlier this month. It will be available throughout its suite of apps, from the instant messaging service Slack to the data visualization tool Tableau, and customers will be able to customize it to meet their specific requirements.
